We are aware that learning a second language in the United States can be difficult with the heavy workload that most school personnel carry.

With a total immersion approach, this learning process can be accelerated as well as enlightening as you experience the Spanish culture firsthand.

Visiting a foreign country to study its language can be an overwhelming experience for even the most seasoned traveler. However, when the school you attend is Casa  Xelajú, all of your fears and worries seem to go away.

Its faculty and staff make your stay comfortable and your language learning fun. The school has a genuine interest in your assimilation into the language and culture of Guatemala.

For more information about individual travel and classes, please email our staff.
