Kukulcan offers a low-stress environment for learning Spanish while getting to know Mexico, its cultures and traditions.
Our motto at Kukulcan is, “it is good to be bilingual, but better to be bicultural.” We think this expresses our belief that Spanish is best taught in the cultural and historical context in which the language is spoken. Our goal is to help students develop high levels of Spanish conversational fluency and a better understanding of Mexican culture.
Travel-study programs are theme-based culture classes that take participants out of the classroom into the field, to learn about Mexican history, art, architecture, politics, economics, folklore and religion, among other topics. Kukulcan offers a low stress environment for language learning, along with a complete immersion experience in Mexican culture. Travel study programas are designed for two-week periods with a variety of afternoon field trips and weekend excursions. Participants can stay as long as they wish and continue to increase their expertise in Mexico and its culture, while achieving higher Spanish proficiency. We arrange accommodations through home-stays or rental apartments, all near the school.
Programs are available year round and, given Cuernavaca's wonderful climate (of 75F all year round), participants will find warm weather and sunny skies no matter when they come. We recommend a mínimum of two weeks of stay! Cuernavaca offers first-class shopping, many fine restaurants, affordable and easy transportation around town, and excellent medical facilities for special medical check ups, dentistry work, etc. Many Americans and Canadians already live here, so you will find it a welcoming environment.
