In Mérida, you’ll take in-person classes like Environmental Science, Mixed Media Arts, and Spanish Language & Mexican Culture alongside online courses through ASU Prep Global.
Spanish immersion happens naturally through day-to-day life, community engagement, and conversations with your very own language buddy.
Your semester includes an overnight trip to Valladolid to explore the ancient wonder of Chichén Itzá and swim in hidden cenotes, and a day trip to Uxmal’s pyramids with a stop at the Chocolate Museum.
You’ll leave with sharper skills, lifelong friendships, and the confidence to thrive in new places.
