La Escuela de la Montaña
Spanish language immersion school
near Quetzaltenango, guatemala

I liked this place a lot, very nice and friendly people at the school and around in the small town. Good teacher, many interesting information, nice garden and a lot of nature. It is worth the trip.

I have been so inspired by my time here at the Escuela de la Montana. Not only by the improvements in my Spanish and the dedication of the teachers, but especially by the community that forms each week with new students and teachers and the communities. I’ve been reminded of the importance of imagining and creating the world that we want to live in and share with others.

La Escuela is a truly magical, special place, and a wonderful place to learn Spanish. I arrived with very little ability to speak, and am leaving (six weeks later) solidly conversational.

Attending the Mountain School is hands down one of the best things I have done in my life. I’ve come back three times!

La escuela de la montaña is a place I have not stopped thinking about since leaving. I formed great friendships with professors, the community, and other students. I came to the school decently fluent in Spanish but still learned a lot. The professors teach culture, politics, and dig at more difficult topics. This is a place I would recommend to anyone interested in learning Spanish or Latin culture. The accommodations are great, too!

What an amazing place to study Spanish! The quality of instruction is great, and I learned so much about history and foreign policy. A life changing experience.
