The Nebaj Language School

The School was created with a vision towards both creating economic opportunities for local teachers, home stay families and artisans as well as attracting adventurous people to this amazing part of the world. Our goal is quite simply to provide top-notch Spanish Language training in what many consider to be their favorite spot in Guatemala. 

Classes are structured in a one-on-one format and are offered Mondays through Fridays. Although our basic class format consists of either a morning session from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM or an afternoon session from 2:00 PM. to 6:00 PM, we realize that everyone has different needs and we will try to accommodate what the student wants whenever humanly possible.

Want to study more intensively? We'll accommodate you.

Want to go hiking in the mountains one morning and take an afternoon class instead of your normal morning session? Who are we to say "No"?!

The School Offers the "Nebaj Experience" package for learning Spanish and experiencing local culture.

  • 20 hours of Spanish lessons
  • 2 guided mountain treks
  • One-week homestay with a local family, including 2 meals a day
  • Discounted internet

All this for the incredible price of just $145 per week!

Want to take a day off during the week and study on Saturday instead? That's fine. We'll accommodate you. We strive to provide as much flexibility as possible to help make your stay the most rewarding and enjoyable as we can. We realize you may not be here just to study, but rather to enjoy the hiking, learn about the culture, participate in local activities and volunteering opportunities, and pass the time with new friends.

Most importantly, we know that in order to be successful we need to provide excellent service and resources. We recognize that there are many schools to choose from in Guatemala and thus feel a great responsibility to prove that you have made the right choice in studying at NLS. You will not be another face in the crowd at NLS. We respect your decisions and opinions and will work our hardest to give you the best language learning experience possible.

Quite simply, studying in Nebaj at NLS offers a unique living and studying experience that cannot be found anywhere else in Central America . NLS was founded by a volunteer and local teacher with three goals in mind:

 

  • To offer high quality Spanish language immersion for the student
  • To provide professional job opportunities for highly motivated local teachers.
  • To provide students with an opportunity to learn in and enjoy the cultural and historical richness of the Ixil Region.

In order to ensure that these goals are met, we offer the following:

  • An English speaking liaison : You will always have someone to go to with whatever idea, suggestion or problem
  • Flexibility: Study when and how you want to, not when we say you have to
  • Professionalism: You will make friends with your teachers but their primary focus is to TEACH SPANISH.
  • Activities: We ensure that all activities and volunteering are tailored to suit the student
  • Home stay: We provide a clean and safe living environment
  • Satisfaction: If you are not learning in and enjoying your classes, tell us. Your satisfaction is our number one priority.

So get out of Antigua , Xela or Pana and study a few weeks with us in beautiful and friendly Ixil country! We offer the learning experience of a lifetime.
