 
 However,
despite all the beautiful architecture (the building's on the
National Historical Register and is incredible inside and out),
the English language department seems to operate just like in
any other normal academy. Teachers here get over 668.88€ for a
10 week 30 hour course (3 hours per week) and unless my math
is failing me, that's about 22 euros an hour, which makes this
one of the better paying "on-the-premises" jobs in
Madrid.

International Institute Profile
|
|
The International Institute in Spain has been
one of Madrid's best kept secrets up till now. I hadn't heard
of them till 2004 even though they've been around for over a hundred
years. Where some schools exploit their almost non-existent infra-structure
in every and any way possible, these guys have got "the" incredible
"university-level" infra-structure without any of the corresponding
fame. (They do share their space with American institutions like
Boston University, Syracuse and SUNY.)
