ABOUT LA HERRADURA
SPANISH SCHOOL
La Herradura was founded by Margo Kros in 1995 and has grown from a small family project into a welcoming Spanish school with locations in Montevideo and Punta del Este.
Through all these years, our purpose has remained simple: to help each student learn Spanish with confidence, personal attention and a genuine connection to everyday life in Uruguay.
FROM SPAIN TO URUGUAY
Originally from the Netherlands, Margo opened her first Spanish school in 1995 in La Herradura, a small coastal village in Granada, Spain. The village became the inspiration for the school’s name.
After marrying a Uruguayan, Margo moved to Uruguay and began a new chapter of the same project. Over the years, La Herradura grew into the school it is today, with locations in Montevideo and Punta del Este and the same personal spirit that inspired it from the beginning.
WHAT HAS STAYED THE SAME
Although the school has grown and changed locations, our way of teaching has remained personal. We keep our groups small, listen to our students and give each person the space and support they need to progress.
Our teachers combine clear guidance with conversation and everyday Spanish. We also use our own teaching materials, developed and refined through years of classroom experience, to keep every course practical, flexible and connected to real life.
