Within the class structure, our teachers are able to offer students the chance to research various subjects using their acquired knowledge. At the same time, students can participate as part-time volunteers in our Community Project “La Pedrera“, or in other communities where they can practice on a daily basis what they have learned in class. The city of Quetzaltenango, with its population of 50% Indigenous y 50% Ladino, is a place rich in the Maya-K’iche’ heritage with an abundance of cultural linguistic centers such as Association of Mayan Writers, Pop Wuj museum, The Mayan League, Association Kawawil, etc. Students are welcome to ask their teachers to take them to bilingual schools where Ki’che’ is taught.
