Non Profit Language School in Guatemala

  Guatemala
    Nuevo San Jose,  Quetzaltenango,  San Jose

Term: Throughout the year 
Dates: Year-round program

Description: La Hermandad Educativa is a nonprofit educational collective with schools in Quetzaltenango and Nuevo San Jose, Guatemala. Established in 1988, the schools offer affordable, quality Spanish-language instruction to foreign visitors, and generate decent paying jobs and income to support projects that benefit the people of Guatemala.
The Hermandad Educativa was established with the goal of helping address some of the harsh conditions facing the Guatemalan people. In addition to providing jobs for local teachers and families at a reasonable wage, including the payment of all legal entitlements, maternity leave and three weeks holiday pay, the schools that comprise the Hermandad use their profits to support groups and projects working toward solutions for Guatemala's social and economic problems.

The Hermandad has a long history of working with human rights and popular organizations. This, along with our focus on providing information about the current situation in Guatemala, means that students are able to meet with union leaders, former combatants of the URNG, political and human rights activists, journalists, health workers, educators and others.

Non Profit Language School in Guatemala

Highlights: The USD 200 per week tuition covers four to five hours of one-on-one intensive instruction daily plus your room and board with a Guatemalan family. In addition to the daily instruction, the school offers weekly conferences, educational films and excursions to local areas of interest giving the visitor the opportunity to learn about Guatemalan culture, customs, history and the social reality of the country.

La Hermandad Educativa is committed to quality language instruction in a context that gives students an awareness of the social, political and economic realities of Guatemala and Central America. Your time at PLQE presents more than just a chance to take some Spanish classes in Guatemala. It presents a unique experience in itself, one which you will remember and value long after you have left the country. Many students return to the school again and again to renew the friendships they have made with the teachers and the families here.
