Welcome to the Spanish Institute of Honduras
The Spanish Institute of Honduras is located in beautiful Siguatepeque, a town of 90,000 people. Surrounded by mountains and pine trees, Siguatepeque is a great place to live while learning Spanish. The Spanish Institute of Honduras was originally started as an offshoot of a local seminary by Camino Global missionary, Mark Fittz, for the purpose of providing language classes to future missionaries. In 2013 the Spanish Institute of Honduras became a legally registered Honduran company and has continued to grow and expand.
Although we are very proud of the fact that the school is a completely self-sustaining business, we have not lost sight of the original purpose of the school, providing quality Spanish language training, primarily to missionaries coming to serve in Honduras and Central America.
As part of our language program, we provide one-on-one classes for better language comprehension with certified Honduran teachers, many of whom were trained extensively by the Peace Corps and continue to use their training, skills, knowledge and expertise to educate our staff. Each student will receive personal attention, ensuring that your unique developmental needs will be met. Some classes will discuss various aspects of Latin American culture and society so that you're learning the language in the context of the culture. At other times, your teacher will organize your class around themes or subjects you find personally interesting.
In addition to time in the classroom, we provide our students a time to practice what they are learning by going on educational, cultural field trips. We also encourage them to explore and experience our beautiful city of Siguatepeque.
Although you do not need to be a missionary to study with us, the majority of those who do come here are either short-term or long-term missionaries. As more and more NGOs and missions organizations are sending their new missionaries to us for language training, we recognize our responsibility to make their time here as positive, productive, and rewarding as possible.
We understand that during your time with us you will be away from your family, your country, and your future missions work. Although we cannot replace these things, we do our best to support all of our students in every way possible. This support comes not only from those who oversee the school, but also from our teachers and the other students. When you study with us, you will find that you become part of a group of people who are committed to each other and to one another's success.
Come as friends, leave as family!
