With 25 years of experience, we pride ourselves on the best quality language tuition for students of Spanish at all levels. As a student you will be assigned an experienced teacher and, using a variety of teaching methods and materials s/he will devise a learning programmed for you based on your needs. We place an emphasis on building your confidence to communicate in Spanish – using plenty of conversational work, supported by written notes and exercises.
Our students have commented that the setting and ambience of the InterContinental Spanish Academy set it apart from other schools in Antigua. Situated in a charming location, approximately 10 minutes on foot from the Central Park.
In this location, we assure you the tranquility necessary for studying. The patio surrounded by various regional plants provides a relaxed pleasant atmosphere.
The size of the school enables us to treat each student as an individual and ensures that we can cater to your personal requirements. Our students can take part in a variety of organized trips and activities including round table discussions about important social, political and cultural issues in Guatemala.
How much time will I need?
The number of hours tuition per day and length of your stay is entirely up to you and we will cater to your requirements. However, as a general guide we estimate that with 6 hours of tuition a day, a student will be able to use basic dialogue within 2 weeks, become proficient within 6 weeks and speak fluently within 12 weeks.
Classes generally run Monday through Friday but are also available on Saturday if requested.
Where will I stay while I am studying?
We recommend that you stay with one of our host families for the duration of your study. It is a wonderful opportunity to practice communicating in Spanish and will enable you to experience Guatemalan family life and hospitality. Each family has been carefully chosen and you will be given a private bedroom and 3 meals each day*. Family houses are within easy walking distance to the school.
We are also happy to arrange alternative accommodation in shared apartments in the city if this is your preference.
