Spanish Language Program and Volunteer Center

  Guatemala

Quetzaltenango,  Xela

Dates: Courses are offered throughout the year

Description: Our program provides the most effective learning experience by immersing the students in the language and culture of Guatemala. This is achieved through an intensive one-on-one study program, living with a Guatemalan family, the opportunity to volunteer in local organizations and weekly organized trips and activities.

Our program is designed to work with all types of students at all different levels of Spanish. The school maintains a maximum size of 25 students. This small size allows us to tailor our activities to the students' needs and interests. The school is open from 8:00am to 7:00pm through the week and 2:00pm to 6:00pm on the weekends. Classes begin on Mondays, year round.

The program includes 5 hours a day of one-on-one intensive instruction. In addition, Educacion para Todos organizes weekly activities and trips to see and learn more about Guatemala.

All of our teachers have experience teaching Spanish as a second language to students from around the world and at all different levels. We also have teachers to can give lessons in Latin Dance, specific vocabulary (agriculture, law, medicine, etc.) and many more great opportunities! You can even travel with your teacher to see and learn at the same time! Contact us today for more details on all that we can offer you!

We also offer special programs and prices to groups.

Highlights: Special Programs:

In addition to our curriculum, which is the general curriculum for the school, we offer specific curriculum plans for groups of people or individuals with more specific interests and needs

I) Special Plan for Professionals:

This is a plan created specifically for professionals in the areas of Social Science and Medicine, who desire to study the Spanish language in order to incorporate Spanish into their practice or profession. The present curriculum contains three important components:

a) Grammar, vocabulary, and exercises that are adapted to each individual, which come from the Social Sciences and Medicine.

b) The student will work with a Spanish teacher, who is also a University professional with knowledge in the field of Medicine or Social Science.

c) The student will be able to do volunteer work related to a branch of the Social Sciences or in a medical clinic or hospital.

II) Group Plan:

The Spanish Language School "Educaci?n Para Todos" has the ability and experience to work with small or large groups. Within this plan, we have the capacity to organize activities to satisfy the specific interests or needs of each group, for example: travel information, conferences, cultural activities, politics, social issues, and sports. In addition, there may also be a group discount, depending on the number of students that come and the length of their study. This plan also works with the method one on one.

III) Plan for Families and Children:

The school has the experience, the teachers, and the necessary materials to teach Spanish to children as young as four years of age. We have the capacity to place entire families in home stay with our Guatemalan families. Furthermore, we can plan schedules, which accommodate parents being able to study without having to leave their children behind.
