The CSA program

We have developed our own program, which has seven levels ("A" through "G"), from beginners to advanced. The first day at CSA you will be tested, to determine your level in Spanish. You will also be required to fill out our "Channel Test". This gives us an idea about how you learn best (if you are a visual, auditive or motor person). This information, along with your specific needs, requirements, and interests, will be given to your teacher, so that he/she has all the information required to tailor your education.

After you finish each level, you will be tested before stepping up to the next level. Your learning development is closely monitored by our Teachers Coordinator, who recommends the best teacher for you according to your specific needs. He also reviews the teacher's daily and weekly plan. Each week you will have the opportunity to evaluate your teacher and CSA confidentially.

CSA has developed many of the materials we use in class, including a different workbook for each level. Also available for you and your teacher is the CSA Library, with more than 200 titles.

Living with a Guatemalan Family
This is the best complement for your lessons. You will have the opportunity to practice your Spanish in real situations and enjoy the cultural exchange.

The families are carefully selected and we require from them to meet specific CSA standards. All of them are located within 5 to 15 minutes in a walking distance. Families offer accommodations, seven days a week, and three meals a day (except on Sundays) at a very reasonable price. See our price list.

The Family's Coordinator evaluates constantly the service provided by the family. If a student does not adapt well to a family, he can arrange the change to another family.
