Bio-Itza (Peten) Help Save the Rain Forest while Learning Spanish and Living with a Contemporary Mayan Family.Bio-Itza is a Spanish language school that offers students volunteer opportunities such as reforestation, the creation of an interpretive forest trail and environmental education in public schools. Food and accommodations are provided by local families in a rustic but comfortable setting. Classes begin each Monday of the year. The school is open year round. Minimum stay is one week, while many students choose to spend several weeks to several months. The fee for 20 hours of private (one-on-one) Spanish language instruction, meals, and accommodations with a local family is $200 weekly. In addition to generating jobs in the community, proceeds from the school support other projects such as the conservation of the Bio-Itza Reserve, a 36 km community forest reserve located Northwest of San Jose.

While only two hours from the bustling, urban capital city, it is a town with very strong Mayan influence. It is the home of the Kak'chikél people who still maintain their culture and language. In the morning, you will volunteer with a local educational center for children from local farming communities. In the afternoons, we will learn about the local culture and social issues facing the community - and also meet leaders who are working to improve the lives of the local residents. Where we go

Language Travel
School (multiple locations worldwide) Our schools are all fully accredited language schools which offer the highest standards of teaching, and excellent facilities. We specialize in organizing language immersion programs for students of all levels at carefully selected language institutions across the world. We offer courses in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Greek, Russian and Arabic. Our programs also offer full cultural programs to compliment our student's language learning. Many of our programs qualify for the transfer of academic credit, and we also offer volunteer opportunities in various locations. All members of our advisory team, including myself, are language graduates who have a great deal of personal experience in studying abroad. Our work is based on a genuine enthusiasm for wonderful experiences of living and learning languages in the country where they are spoken! We are always only too happy to help students decide which course and which location, (we visit all of our schools personally), will best suit the needs of the individual, as well give them real advice on what to expect when they study abroad.
