Start with the option that matches your life.
Study in Antigua, continue online from anywhere, build a full immersion stay, or ask for a program shaped around a specific goal.
A personal way to learn
Your teacher’s full attention.
Since 1978, our approach has been simple: Spanish is learned best when the class is built around the student. Your teacher adapts each lesson to your level, interests, goals, and the Spanish you want to use.
Use Spanish around Antigua, not only in a classroom.
Learn with people who know your name, your goals, and your progress.

Nearly five decades of teaching Spanish in Antigua.
Spanish Antigua continues a family teaching tradition that began in 1978, when Elisa Pellecer and Abel Aquino started welcoming international students to Antigua Guatemala. Today, that same belief in personal teaching and genuine connection continues under the Spanish Antigua name.
