Student Comments I can thoroughly recommend the school both for academic excellence and for its activities and ambiance. I had two teachers whilst learning Spanish and both were attentive and knowledgeable. The learning structure was methodical and practical and I soon found that I understood many things that were confusing before. I have no regrets about my choice. Chris My teacher Cintya at Ixchel was absolutely phenomenal. In just three days she gave me a grand tour of the Spanish language. In just three days I learned more Spanish than in my years of study. I thoroughly enjoyed the staff, the organization of activities, and the family atmosphere at Ixchel. I will definitely return next year when I know more Spanish so I can talk at a higher level. Cintya is an extraordinary teacher, and I'm so honored to now have her as my first Guatemalan friend! Jane Scott We knew zero Spanish when we started school. Thanks to a very patient teacher we were able to understand and communicate in Spanish. We also enjoyed being placed with a family and believe this immersion greatly helped improve our Spanish learning curve. Thanks to the staff for running a great school! Marisa & Dave I have enjoyed my four weeks of classes at Ixchel. It is a beautiful setting in which to learn Spanish, with a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Many thanks to my teachers, who have helped me to improve my Spanish. Gonda Winternitz |
Learning Spanish at the Ixchel Spanish School in Antigua:
Spanish Immersion Courses
Studying at the Ixchel Spanish School in Antigua, Guatemala, is more than just learning to speak Spanish. While you acquire a solid knowledge of the Spanish language, you will also experience first-hand the customs and culture of Latin America and the fascinating history of Guatemala.
Therefore our Spanish courses consist of three essential components that will combine to give you an extraordinary and unforgettable learning experience:
1. Individual Spanish instructions
Well-educated teachers with many years of experience teaching Spanish as a second language to foreign students plan their classes individually for each students. According to your level of Spanish as well as your needs and interests, your teacher will use the teaching techniques that work best for you and go at exactly the pace you need to make maximum progress without overloading you with more information than you can absorb.
2. Latin American culture and customs
While you study Spanish at the Ixchel Spanish school, you will also learn a lot about many aspects of living in Guatemala and Latin America. You will experience the customs and culture of the Spanish-speaking world and learn about Guatemala's fascinating history as well as the country's economic and political situation.
3. Personal experience
While other Spanish schools in Antigua will teach you only the theory, the Ixchel Spanish School provides many opportunities to leave the classroom behind and practice your Spanish in realistic, real-life situations. Talking and interacting with native speakers, you will be able to apply what you've learned in class, which will boost your knowledge of the Spanish language and allow you to progress even more rapidly.
At the Ixchel Spanish School, learning doesn't end when your classes are over. We encourage students to make optimum use of their stay in Antigua and we do our best to provide many opportunities where they can continue learning and practicing outside the classroom. Daily activities and excursions to places of interest are ideal to practice your Spanish in real-life situations and make many valuable experiences.
Flexible Schedules
Apart from planning our courses for each student individually according to his or her needs, interests and learning style, we also offer very flexible schedules so that you can go at the pace you feel most comfortable with. We offer from two to eight hours a day, up to six days a week.
Certificates and Diplomas
Our Spanish courses are recognized by the National Department of Education. Upon request, we can provide diplomas and certificates of attendance, which will carry the following information: the course you have attended, the subjects you have studied, the duration of the course and the number of hours you have taken, and the level of Spanish proficiency you have achieved.
Credit Transfer
For students who require college/university credits, we offer a special program in cooperation with Universidad Rural de Guatemala, a very reputable private university in Guatemala City. This program allows you to get credits for the courses you take at the Ixchel Spanish School and consists of nine levels from beginner to advanced.
Special Courses for Travelers and Professionals
While most Spanish schools in Antigua are content to offer only general Spanish courses, we recognize that many professionals need Spanish for their work and require more specific courses. Therefore we have created a variety of special courses to complement our General Spanish courses:
- Spanish for Travelers
- Spanish for Volunteers
- Spanish for Flight Attendants
- Spanish for Medical and Healthcare Personnel
At the Ixchel Spanish school you will learn exactly the kind of Spanish you need. And the best part: our special courses do not cost extra! You'll get them at the same rates as our general Spanish courses.

Studying in our beautiful garden courtyard is so much more enjoyable than sitting in a stuffy classroom for several hours!
Our Spanish courses are mostly one-on-one, which is the fastest and most effective way of learning Spanish.
Occasionally we arrange group classes, mostly for couples who want to study together, but they are the exception rather than the rule. Group classes are effective only if all group members are at the same level.
Individual instructions are the most intensive way of studying Spanish. They allow for very rapid progress because your teacher can fully concentrate on you and you'll have much more time to speak and practice your Spanish.
Our teachers use a large selection of class materials to keep the instructions varied and interesting.
Our team of well-trained and experienced teachers will adapt their instructions to your needs and interest and go at the pace that's exactly right for you.
