The Intensive Spanish Summer Institute (ISSI) at Lake Tahoe Community College is a one-week immersion experience in beautiful South Lake Tahoe. This highly successful program is recognized by the California Community College Board of Governors as an outstanding community college program. ISSI welcomes learners of all ages, from high school students to adults, who are interested in mastering Spanish. You will learn the language and culture with many native Spanish-speaking instructors through 16 levels of language instruction, from Low-Beginning through High-Superior, and a wide variety of cultural Break-Out sessions. Attend engaging classes on grammar, cooking, history, dance, travel, conversation, literature, and much more. Whether you are studying Spanish for your career, college, or life-long learning, this program will provide the experience to meet your goals. Best of all, it's affordable and very fun!

Students can earn 2.5 units of academic credit, specifically designed to enhance fluency in Spanish. Courses emphasize both oral and written language skills. Class size is limited to maximize learning. We strongly encourage early enrollment to secure your spot in this highly sought-after program. Visit our Frequently Asked Questions page for quick answers to the most common queries about ISSI.

Please note, July is a peak season in South Lake Tahoe, so we recommend booking your lodging as early as possible to ensure availability.
