Christian Spanish

Our calendar of daily social and cultural activities (Example).

The Spanish immersion program is based a one-on-one, five hours a day, five days a week with homestay and daily social and cultural activities which introduce students to the culture and history, and contemporary issues of Guatemala.

Spanish for Christians will focus on the theology of liberation and liberation theology ideas and their connection to the poorest communities of the society and how the ideas like free trade, globalization affect them.

Among these communities are the Mayan communities where the people have strong beliefs in the Mayan Cosmology as the main religion. Students will have a unique opportunity to explore the complex issues of how the Mayan Cosmology and Liberation Theology interconnect.

Tuition for this program is $210.00 in the summer and $200.00 during the low season.
