The School
APPE Academy was founded in 1992, with the principles of
using its experience and guaranteeing completely professional
teaching techniques for individuals and organisations. The
school has two locations. One in Antigua and one in a small
village called San Juan del Obispo,
15 minutes outside of Antigua.
The peaceful nature of San Juan offers the student the opportunity
to completely immerse themselves in their Spanish studies.
San Juan is located in the slopes of the Agua Volcano and
only a short distance from Antigua by bus or car.
The Staff
APPE, consists of a group of teachers who previously have
served in the Peace Corps as Spanish teachers. They are well
qualified and have taken specific university courses for teaching
Spanish as a second language.
Professional teachers with years of experience in a variety
of contexts. Appropriate techniques are used for individual
learning styles with one-teacher to one-student or group classes.
