Kamalbe is a school that operates on a smaller, more intimate level. For the student who is looking for a high quality education at an affordable price, while simultaneously supporting the development of underprivileged areas in Guatemala, Kamalbe Spanish School is the ideal choice.         

From the outset of their experience, students will find a staff driven to provide the best education possible. The staff prides itself in developing curriculum for the individual student based on their skills and needs. However, when not working on perfecting their Spanish in the classroom, students will quickly fall in love with the beauty of Quetzaltenango - known affectionately by the locals, as Xela.

Kamalbe Spanish School is located in the Historic Center of Quetzaltenango, just a few minutes walk from the city's central park. Surrounded by great restaurants, the best nightclubs and bars, tourist information offices, bookstores, and pharmacies, students who choose Kamalbe Spanish School as their place of study will want for very little as they find anything imaginable within just footsteps. With a multi-faceted approach to teaching Spanish, Kamalbe Spanish School provides its students the formal method of education in the classroom with one-on-one instruction, mixed with the equally important informal method of education outside the classroom.

Students will live with a Guatemalan family and participate in volunteer programs. It is the staffs belief that this two-pronged approach will better the experience and Spanish speaking ability of its students and if your goals, too, are aligned, the Kamalbe Spanish School is the right school for you!

Kamalbe Spanish School - Guatemala's Mission Statement: Kamalbe School is a non-profit organization providing its students the opportunity to learn Spanish while immersed in the world of Guatemalan culture. Kamalbe translates to -Spiritual Guide- from Kiche. At Kamalbe Spanish School, students receive one-on-one Spanish instruction from a highly qualified and experienced staff. For a true Guatemalan experience, students have the option of living with, eating with, and becoming an itegral member of a Guatemalan family. The students will also have the opportunity to support some of the poorest communities in Guatemala through volunteer projects organized by the school. Volunteer projects include teaching English, art, and music in primary schools and educating about health risks in nearby medical clinics. Past volunteers have brought their individual skillset to the Quetzaltenango (Xela) area to better the lives of community members in the rural villages. At Kamalbe Spanish School, all of these opportunities are at the fingertips of our students!
