What our students said about Mérida (YUC)

I wouldn’t visit Merida in our own simply because I missed having more nature and less concrete. The zoo was truly depressing with cages that were way too small. The interactive installation at La Peni is a highlight and should be recommended to everyone young and old. It was too hot to do much else. But the school is totally worth the trip.

I really enjoyed my stay in Merida. I didn’t realise it was rainy season when I was there, so it was a fun experience. I’ve learnt the importance of discussing the weather in Mexico ‘hay calor!’ Thelma is amazing and helped me to navigate my way to and from Las Brisas from Mérida central.

Merida is a great city with many sights and a very good infrastructure. The historic center with its nice bars and restaurants is particularly beautiful. The traces of the ancient mayas can be found everywhere. Public transport is available and it is also very safe on the way home at night.

La Calle

This was the best choice I could have made when looking into immersion programmes. The teachers are exceptional. They tailor lessons to the students individual needs while making learning fun and accessible. I’m shocked at how much I learned in 2 weeks. Definitely supplement with a few private lessons to get a deeper dive. Everyone on staff goes above and beyond and communication is clear and prompt. The food is vegetarian and a terrific way to nourish your brain after working hard! I cannot wait to return.
Thank you for a mountaintop experience. The love the teachers have for teaching is extraordinary.

Spanish Center

I loved the 1-on-1 teaching with Martha, as the classes were targeted just for me and my learning level. I had a great mix of speaking, written and hearing practice and Martha is a very fun teacher.
I was lucky enough to have Martha as my teacher for 4 weeks at Spanish Center Merida. These classes were a fantastic experience and a wonderful investment in my learning. Martha is a fun and encouraging teacher, providing lots of speaking practice, as well as practice in writing and listening. I had so much support from Martha and Thelma, who helped me to navigate my way to and from the classes, and made me feel very welcome. I cherish my time at Spanish Center Merida and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to accelerate their Spanish schools with these excellent teachers.

FAQ about schools in Mérida (YUC)

  • With regard to the host families offered by our partner schools in Mérida, we cannot confirm whether all the families are Mayan. However, as Mérida is the capital of the state of Yucatán, it is a region where Mayan culture has historically flourished. Today, many Mayan families live in and around the city, often retaining their cultural traditions, language and crafts. The Mayan presence in the Mérida region is an important part of its cultural identity and history.
    We will ask the school for more information about the profile of the families when you make your booking.
