The city of Antigua was built in 1543. It preserves the architectonic characteristics of the 16th century, such as stone paved streets, baroque style buildings, large doors with stone arches, windows with stone base and forged steel balconies, beams carved in precious woods, large stone fountains and tile roofs.

All houses and buildings are of colonial style. They prevail in a strange and extraordinary mixture of peace and active life, forming today, a beautiful colonial city where it seems that time stood still.

Guatemala has been the focus of Spanish studies for many years. Whether you would like to improve your Spanish or master the language for business/ travelling, then this is the right place for you.

The school founded a day care center for the sons and daughters of single Guatemalan mothers. They facilitate the education of the children, as well as providing them with meals, thus allowing the mothers the opportunity to find a job and giving a better life to their children.

The school is financing some of these projects with its income. Obviously, the needs are greater so they are looking for VOLUNTEERS (teachers, cooks, baby-sitters, nurses/doctors, or any one who loves kids), as well as donations of clothing for adults and children, study materials, medicines, and money, or whatever you can help with. All donations will be greatly appreciated and put to good use. With your help, the school can make a tremendous difference and change many lives.
