About Us
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.
We are very proud of the fact that the school is a completely self-sustaining business, but we have not lost sight of the original purpose of the school: providing quality Spanish language training, primarily to missionaries coming to serve in Central America.

The Team
As part of our language program, we provide one-on-one classes for better language comprehension with highly trained 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.
Location
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 and secure place to live while learning Spanish. 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.
Housing
The Institute offers a variety of housing options to better your transition to Siguatepeque. When you arrive, you will be able to move into your living situation immediately and be ready for classes.
