Welcome

   Jardin de America ("America's garden" in English) is a fully accredited, total emersion Spanish school, offering one-on-one intensive training by native Spanish speaking teachers.

On the boat to Santiago Atitlan.

   We begin by making sure students know the fundamental mechanics of Spanish and a that they have a basic vocabulary.

   Then, building on a solid foundation, we carefully develop a student's language skills for as long his or her studies continue.

   There is a lot of book work to be done, but no language exists in a cultural void. Most of our students take room and board with a Guatemalan family and after class go with teachers on various activities and tours around the lake.
