Great Spanish Immersion
December 13, 2025by: Kasey House - United StatesProgram: Authentic Spanish or Maya Language ImmersionI had an amazing time being in Mexico. There were so many opportunities to experience the culture and go on cultural experiences in the area. I learned so much about Día de los Muertos and the local holidays. I got to go to the Mayan ruins and cenotes. The host family was so nice and the food was delicious. I was nervous to travel to Mexico but it felt very safe and the food was delicious.
Excellent Immersion Experience

The school community is very attentive, welcoming and professional. The host families include you in everything and make you feel like you are family.
high school spanish teacher looking to use grant money for the summer to better her craft
November 14, 2025by: Rigile Ortega - United StatesProgram: Authentic Spanish or Maya Language ImmersionHello, I am looking to make arrangements for a cultural trip for me this coming summer in either June or July of 2026. I am currently a High School Spanish teacher and I have been given a grant to purse professional development that will further my effectiveness as a teacher. This could also potentially roll into a school trip abroad in the future. Lastly, I would have to bring my family of 4 with me to this summer trip so I am hoping you can recommend somewhere nearby with that kind of room. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for reaching out, we’d love to help you plan a meaningful cultural immersion experience for Summer 2026. We’ve tried contacting you different times at [email protected], so please check your spam or promotions folder. Once we reconnect by email, we’ll send options and next steps.
