Schools
Our schools are approved by the Board of Education of Guatemala and are visited by numerous universities and international agencies. Our rate of satisfaction is 100%. The teachers are selected, qualified and recognized by Guatemalan Universities. Each and every one of them have received a special training for foreign students to ensure a fast and effective learning experience. An intensive program custom made plus one teacher, one student assure you a warm and human approach that makes learning a second language easy. The building is colonial style and has many rooms that are used as classes. Sometimes, the student prefers the garden or the library to receive the classes. We have courses of 20, 25, or 30 hours per week.

School and College Groups
We have the option of one student per one teacher or four students per one teacher and the school is able to take groups of up to 70 students, though the school used for big groups is located in the town of Jocotenango which is very close to Antigua. We can organize cultural, sport, touristically or volunteer activities in perfect combination with the learning program.

The sleeping arrangements are in the same town and it is allowed up to two students per family but only if they are from the same group and the group is big enough. We are also able to provide an cultural exchange between schools from different countries or the integration of your group into a Guatemalan establishment where the foreign student adapts to the local school.

Our programs are custom made for different, public or private organizations.

Accommodations
There are three places to choose from that are very near from where you will study, two of them are little townships ant the other one is the colonial city of Antigua Guatemala.

Cultural integration with a local family: A learning program in Guatemala is a very humane and cultural experience due to the fact that you will be living among the complete community. The adapting skills of the student is a key point in enjoying the visit.
