Description

Antigua is not only a safe, welcoming, and festive city in Guatemala - its city center, where our school is located, has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The remarkably preserved colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, and volcanic mountains surrounding the city make Antigua a picturesque and unique place in which to study Spanish.

Our Spanish language school in Antigua boasts a very central location, a lively patio and garden where students can chat and meet up between or after class, and excellent modern facilities.

Courses consist entirely of private lessons, ranging from 20 to 30 per week. This is a great way to ensure rapid progress in the language, no matter what level of Spanish you have! During your course you can also choose to stay in our student residence or with a carefully selected Guatemalan host family. Either way, you will be sure to make lasting friendships while discovering all Antigua has to offer.
