Our Small Group Spanish Course is designed for students who want the perfect balance between personalized attention, dynamic interaction, and affordable pricing. With a maximum of only 6 students per group, each participant has the opportunity to actively practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing in a supportive and highly interactive environment.
At Celas Maya, every student begins with a placement evaluation and learning profile assessment to ensure they are placed in the most appropriate level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Classes are carefully organized by level and learning objectives to maximize progress and participation.
Our communicative 75/25 methodology encourages students to use Spanish actively from the very first day. Approximately 75% of class time is focused on student participation through conversations, practical exercises, role plays, discussions, and real-life communication activities, while 25% is dedicated to teacher guidance, explanations, and correction.
This course is ideal for:
Students who enjoy learning collaboratively
Travelers and study abroad participants
Adults and university students seeking immersive Spanish practice
Learners who want more speaking opportunities without the intensity of one-to-one instruction
Students interested in cultural exchange with classmates from different countries
Classes are taught by experienced native Spanish teachers in a warm and professional academic environment in Quetzaltenango. Students also have access to extracurricular cultural activities, local immersion experiences, and optional homestay accommodation with Guatemalan families to reinforce language acquisition beyond the classroom.
Whether you are studying Spanish for travel, professional development, academic purposes, or personal growth, our small group format offers an engaging, effective, and culturally rich learning experience in Guatemala.

Located in the heart of Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala’s second largest city, Celas Maya Spanish School offers students a safe, authentic, and academically focused environment for Spanish immersion. The school is situated in a central and walkable area of the city, close to cafés, restaurants, markets, museums, gyms, banks, pharmacies, and public transportation.
Quetzaltenango is internationally recognized as one of the best destinations in Latin America for serious Spanish study due to its authentic Spanish-speaking environment, strong indigenous Maya culture, and lower presence of English compared to more touristic cities. This allows students to practice Spanish naturally in daily life and accelerate their learning process through real cultural interaction.
Celas Maya combines high-quality Spanish instruction with deep cultural immersion. Students can participate in cultural workshops, cooking classes, conferences on Guatemalan history and Maya culture, volunteer opportunities, and excursions to important destinations such as Lake Atitlán, Chichicastenango, Fuentes Georginas, and local villages in the Guatemalan highlands.
Most host families and accommodations are located within walking distance of the school. Carefully selected host families provide students with private rooms, Wi-Fi, meals, and meaningful daily interaction in Spanish, helping students experience Guatemalan culture in a personal and authentic way.
The school itself features a welcoming colonial-style atmosphere with comfortable classrooms, study areas, gardens, and common spaces that encourage interaction among international students, teachers, and local staff. Every morning, students can also enjoy high-quality Guatemalan coffee as part of the school’s warm community environment.
With more than 25 years of experience, Celas Maya has become a respected institution for Spanish as a Foreign Language in Guatemala, offering personalized programs for adults, university students, professionals, retirees, and educational groups seeking both academic excellence and meaningful cultural immersion.

At Celas Maya
, our homestay program is designed to provide students with a safe, comfortable, and authentic cultural immersion experience in Quetzaltenango. All host families are located within walking distance of the school and in the surrounding neighborhoods, allowing students to move easily between their accommodation and classes without the need for transportation.
Students stay in carefully selected Guatemalan homes where they can experience daily life, traditions, and genuine interaction with local families. The most important aspect of the homestay experience at Celas Maya is communication and cultural exchange, helping students practice Spanish naturally outside the classroom.
Host families provide three daily meals, offering students the opportunity to enjoy traditional Guatemalan cuisine and learn more about the country’s culinary culture. Meals often include local ingredients, homemade dishes, and regional specialties from the Guatemalan highlands.
To support students’ health and well-being, the school also provides purified drinking water through an ozone purification system. We encourage students to bring reusable water bottles or containers and refill them at the school throughout the day.
