Na'atik Language and Culture Institute: Study Abroad Yucatan

We offer immersion Spanish and Maya language off the beaten path in the heart of the Zona Maya, Mexico. We are committed to cross-cultural exchange, as this is where learning is put into action. Our philosophy is to teach real-life, communicative language skills in a student-centered environment that encourages students to continue learning and growing outside the classroom. What sets the school’s immersion program apart is that students learn through cultural integration supported by their local teachers, engaged homestays, local English language students, and a welcoming community. Dedicated to sustainability and its community, Na’atik is fully-solar and reinvests ten percent of the revenue from its language immersion programs to subsidize their English language program for students in Carrillo Puerto.
