I understand that some concerns have been raised regarding the safety of your students as the news that appear on TV continues to carry the difficulties Mexico is having along it’s boarder with US. I can tell you that Querétaro remains as safe as past years. I am glad to tell you that our students have had no problems regarding safety or security. One thing that might also help to give security about the safety issues is that the Peace Corps has a major office here in Querétaro since almost 5 years ago. They have very strict rules and regulations about safety issues for their volunteers while they stay in Mexico. The Peace Corps’ volunteers stay at least two years in different parts of Mexico. Before they begin their service, they have a three month training program in Querétaro. We have been working with them for the past four years in the area of Spanish classes, Mexican culture and homestay. We have just received a new group of volunteers in March for their three month training program in Querétaro. If there were any concerns about safety, they would be the first ones to cancel their program in Querétaro, and request the return of the U.S. Staff who live in Querétaro. Here are some testimonials of students who are right now studying with us. They have agreed to give their email in case any future student wants to contact them directly and ask them about security in Querétaro and México.

I hope this information will help to give an insight on how things are going in Querétaro concerning security and can give you confidence about the safety of your students.
