My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Máximo. We started with group classes and ended up taking one on one classes. They were both fantastic, but we were also working while we were in Antigua. The hour one on one classes fit our schedules best. Our teachers were top notch. We worked with Dulce, Francisco and Leo. All fantastic! The administration was super helpful with anything we needed at any time. We worked mostly with David and Mary, but everyone was super kind and accommodating! We can’t wait to attend Máximo when we get to Peru next year. I would highly recommend the school for everyone.

I volunteered and took Spanish classes at Maximo Nivel in Antigua, Guatemala. It was a great experience. Everything was very well organized from A to Z. The staff of Maximo Nivel is very professional. They are making sure you are having the best volunteering experience, from project to host family. My host family I stayed with was amazing. Very sweet people that didn’t make any problem cooking vegetarian for me. Also the Spanish classes were of high level. My teacher Alma was fantastic. Totally recommend volunteering and Spanish classes through Maximo Nivel!

This was one of the best experiences i've ever had in my life! I only wish i could have stayed longer. The staff at MN is incredible. helpful, kind, out-of-the-box creative thinkers. If i had an issue they were quick to resolve. They all have the greatest smiles! My Volunteer experience at the Promam clinic was solid and educational - besides the fact that i was able to help older patients with various medical issues. I encourage anyone to work w Maximo Nivel

I had an amazing time on my construction and renovation project in Antigua Guatemala. We build a treehouse playground for children with special needs outside the school. This was one of the most humbling and most memorable experiences of my life!
