Cemanahuac Educational Community in Cuernavaca For over 25 years, Cemanahuac has offered one of the finest programs of Spanish language study in Mexico. It is an excellent program for those who wish to quickly develop a working proficiency in Spanish.
In addition to the four-hour language classes each day, taught by native speakers of Spanish (from 9:00 to 1:00 each weekday), students may participate in professional seminars, field trips, and conversation and vocabulary classes in the other half of the day. New classes start every Monday.

The school occupies a large villa in the southern part of town and is located within three blocks of a bakery, supermarket, banks, restaurants, bus station, pharmacy and one block from the main street with bus transportation to all parts of the city. Cemanahuac has 30 classrooms and can accommodate five students and an instructor in each classroom. It has a library, an email room, a snack bar, pool, gardens, two seminar meeting rooms for groups of up to 60, disability facilities, a gift shop, and an infirmary. Learn more..

Teaching at Cemanahuac is a balanced one, with emphasis on speaking and listening, reading and writing. We stress oral competency. All teachers are native speakers of Spanish, and all have extensive training in teaching Spanish as a second language to adult learners.
Classes meet 4 to 5 hours per day in small groups of no more than 5 students per class. Many "out of the classroom exercises" are included in the weekly program, with teachers frequently escorting students to a nearby spot (the post office, the grocery store, a restaurant, etc.) for the purpose of vocabulary building and learning situation-appropriate behaviors and language.

Each weekend, field study trips are sponsored to places of historic and cultural interest. Areas around Mexico City, such as the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon at Teotihuacan, the Museum of Anthropology, the Templo Mayor in the center of the Valley of Mexico, and the Folkloric Ballet presented at Palace of Fine Arts are frequent destinations. Field trips in the Cuernavaca area are conducted weekly, and all excursions are led by Cemanahuac anthropologists.
