The most exciting experience, studying and living with a Mexican family
Our philosophy is different than larger Spanish schools with big class sizes. We are a family run business. We will teach you Spanish and will invite you to be part of our family. In this way, you will live, feel, speak and listen to Spanish on a full time basis.
Occasionally students request university credit for studies at ACALLI. Some schools in the US will give credit based on the result of a proficiency exam administered upon the student's return to the US or on the final evaluation elaborated by the coordinator of the ACALLI Spanish department which can be sent to the student's university. Others require a transcript from an accredited US college or university. Students who need such a transcript should note this on their application form when enrolling at ACALLI and we will provide them with contact information.
Millions of foreigners chose to study Spanish for professional and personal reasons. In Cuernavaca, where we are located there are more than 17 schools. In Antigua Guatemala, there are seventy Spanish schools with more than 200 teachers.
