How is this school?

Centro Cultural Ecuatoriano Norteamericano. "Abraham Lincoln"

It's in Cuenca, I've heard great things about the town, but haven't heard anything about the school, what's it like?

Cuenca is a great place in my opinion. I lived there for almost a year and taught at a great school called Nexus. In addition to Nexus and Abraham Lincoln there is one called CEDEI. I think a few more have popped up since I have left. The weather is not cold in my opinion either- I come from Minnesota! There is no snow-unless you go climb Cotopaxi! The difference is that when the temperature goes down a bit like 45 degrees F, there are no heating systems. So, yes, it gets chilly. But, if you are looking for a small town latin american experience, I don't think you can get much more pleseant than Cuenca. Things will annoy you just like most places, but it's beautiful there. Also, the Spanish dialect is easy to understand. Another benefit of Ecuador is the ecological diversity that exists within a very small area. There is so much to explore, so much to see.
