Overview
Casa Xalteva's Spanish Language School is a program of Fundacion Casa Xalteva, an independent non-profit educational and charitable foundation supported by Communitas Foundation, chartered in the state of New Mexico, USA. In addition to providing high-quality Spanish instruction, our purpose is to promote international and intercultural awareness and cooperation among all peoples. Our Spanish Language School in Granada, Nicaragua welcomes students of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities. Working with Nicaraguans from a variety of backgrounds, we hope to share awareness of the Spanish language and the rich culture of Nicaragua with people from all parts of the world.
Casa Xalteva offers short and long-term intensive Spanish courses for beginning, intermediate and advanced students. Classes at Casa Xalteva consist of one to four students working with Nicaraguan instructors. The average class size is two students per class. Classes meet four hours a day Monday through Friday. The atmosphere is casual and the emphasis is on conversational skills. Textbooks and materials designed for non-native speakers are provided. Our instructors use an innovative "Spanish only" technique that has students speaking, writing and reading the language from the first day of class. New classes begin every Monday throughout the year, and students may study for as little as one week or as long as several months.
We are committed to offering the highest quality of language instruction, educating our students about the culture and society of Nicaragua, building lasting relationships between our students and the people of Nicaragua, and providing meaningful opportunities for volunteer and social service work.
