Ixchel Spanish School

Ixchel Spanish School teaches on Novena Calle Oriente in Antigua Guatemala. Its core immersion programme brings together individual Spanish lessons, opportunities to join cultural activities and the option of staying with a local family. Students who want a particular emphasis on speaking can look at the school’s Conversa-Antigua option.

Spanish study

One-to-one study gives a teacher room to change the balance of the lesson as the learner’s needs become clearer. Ixchel offers several weekly lesson loads, so students can choose how much time to set aside for guided study. Conversa-Antigua gives more time to conversation and less to formal grammar work. These are different choices for a short stay, particularly for visitors already able to read Spanish but less confident joining a discussion.

Learning in Antigua

The address for the current Antigua programme is 9a Calle Oriente 5. The school has announced a new location for January 2027, so learners planning a stay across that date should check where their first lesson will take place. The homestay option adds everyday opportunities to use Spanish beyond the individual lessons.
