We encourage our students to immerse themselves in Guatemalan life by staying with a Guatemalan host family.

Our families are all located 5 to 10 minutes walk from the school, in Zone 1 of the city.

Staying with a Guatemalan family will give you the chance to learn firsthand about Guatemalan culture and to practice your Spanish outside the school environment. Our families provide students with a private room, three meals a day for all seven days (including Sunday) and an enjoyable, interesting experience. They can accommodate vegetarians, vegans and students with food allergies.  

Most students stay with the same family during their studies, but you are more than welcome to change families every week so you can get to know other families and customs.

You can start your family homestay any day of the week, even if you haven’t yet started classes, just let us know when you will be arriving and we will arrange for your family to come and pick you up from the school.
