Minerva Spanish
School and Cultural Center was founded in 1990. Our school is a small and cozy school with
university trained teachers who are providing an intensive
program for each level of Spanish.
Minerva strives to impart a better understanding of
not only the language, but of the culture, economy, politics,
history and anthropology of Guatemala.
We believe in peace, quality, education, the preservation
of the environment and that we are responsible for the
future of the world. The combination of this philosophy
along with our language programs has made Minerva
Spanish School & Cultural Center a special school
in Guatemala... And each year there is a growing number
of students attending our Spanish school from around
the world. See Former Students.
Minerva Spanish School & Cultural
Center is legally registered and qualified
by the National Tourist Institute and the Guatemala Department of Education.
