Spanish Academy Antigüeña

Spanish Academy Antigüeña has taught Spanish in Antigua Guatemala since 1985. Students meet the school on Primera Calle Poniente, near La Merced. Teaching also takes place at its garden on Calle Final de los Nazarenos. The academy describes both addresses as part of one school.

Spanish study

Each student works with an individual teacher. An initial assessment helps the teacher decide where to start, and assignments are made on a weekly basis. A learner coming for conversation practice can use that time differently from someone who wants to concentrate on the accuracy of their written Spanish. The academy’s garden and headquarters provide different settings for this individual work.

Learning in Antigua

Students may arrange a local homestay alongside their lessons or take classes while organising their own accommodation. The homestay is offered in combination with study. Someone returning to Antigua can request a particular teacher, although assignments depend on who is attending that week. The main office is the starting point for new arrivals, even when lessons are subsequently arranged in the garden.
