Lacunza International House
San Sebastian, Spain
The origin of our School started in 1956 when Lacunza was created as a foreign languages school specialised in the teaching of English.
In 1976 we joined International House World Organisation (IHWO), one of the oldest and largest language schools network and in 1989, after years of teaching Spanish to our English teachers of English, the “Spanish Department” started to promote our courses outdoors.
Since October 1995 we are an independent school specialised in Spanish Courses.
The school is located in the city centre, 10 minutes walk from the beach next to a beautiful park. It is located in a commercial zone with banks and bars. 
Lacunza IH is a meeting point for students from around the word where the learning of Spanish comes forth naturally. In the open air terrace, the large reception area or in the social area, you will be able to converse and make plans with your new friends.
