Welcome to the
Cooperativa Spanish School
The Cooperativa Spanish School invites and welcomes students from all over the world to our school in lovely San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala. This community oriented cooperative offers immersion Spanish courses and programs of study to students at all levels; beginner, intermediate and advanced.
We offer private, one-on-one, instruction in a gorgeous setting overlooking one of the world's most lovely bodies of water, Lake Atitlán. San Pedro is surrounded by lush mountains and three famous dormant volcanoes.
Courses range from one week to one month or longer. Instruction ranges 
from 3 to 6 hours each day, 5 days a week. In addition to learning Spanish from the most experienced teachers in San Pedro, students have the opportunity to live in the home of a local family. Many students discover the richness of living within the culture, speaking Spanish in an immersion setting, and practicing their skills with members of their new family as the most satisfying way of developing their Spanish.
The Home Stay package includes seven days accommodation, three meals per day, except Sunday, and five days of classes. Home stays are recommended, but not required. San Pedro offers a range of accommodations from houses for rent to hotels and hostels all at some of Guatemala’s 
most reasonable rates. We are able to meet any requirements you may have. Let us know what you need and we are happy to help with the arrangements.
