My children really benefited from the environment of Chac-Mool and teaching of Julia. I am more than pleased with the amount they learned and the attitude they have involving Spanish.
  -Amanda

It was an excellent program. My daughter was happy to go to class every day and was forced to use her Spanish. After 3 weeks, she was speaking in Spanish to our host family and to people in the street.

We chose Chac-Mool because of its website and children´s program. In reality Chac-Mool exceeded our expectations. Everyone from the director to the teachers, from the office staff to the ground´s keepers is dedicated to his/her job and the school´s mission to be ´´The ultimate language and culture experience.´´ We have thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and learned so much. The grounds are well thought out and maintained. The teachers are bright, dynamic, and creative in their playful approach to teaching. We so enjoyed living with our Mexican family too. The food was amazing. This has been a fantastic experience for our family.

Those Caves at Cacahuamilpa were my favorite excursion, Las Estacas with the swimming in the springs was a close second. I'll be back again next year for more classes, I'm sure.

I'm so happy I came to Chac-Mool this year. I didn't expect to meet such nice, patient teachers or stay with such a welcoming, kind family. The quality of everything, from the food in Cuernavaca to the amazing people here made this one of the most exciting experiences of my life and I can't wait to return next year with friends.
  -Camille, high school student

Very good and I learned TONS!
  -Alina, high school student

Very good, I thoroughly enjoyed it, though I think I would have to stay more than a week to really improve my Spanish. I never thought I would be walking the streets of Mexico, and taking a bus everywhere.
  -Jake, high school student

I wanted to write to you a year after my 4 weeks at Chac-Mool during the summer 2007. I was so timid and afraid to try something new and when my mom made me come with her for Spanish classes I fought her on the idea the whole way. Looking back though I think it is the most rewarding experience of my lifetime and I wanted to let you know. I appreciate the way you opened my mind to something different. I will be beginning as a Spanish Major next year at UT and with my new confidence I know I will succeed. Mil gracias.
  -Chloe, high school student

We came to Chac-Mool with two 14 yr-old grandchildren. I would strongly recommend such a trip for other seniors. It was a wonderful experience that made us appreciate each other in new ways. Also the teen group at Chac-Mool was so outreaching that our grandkids had an independent life here. We all worked hard, helped each other, and liked the whole experience.
  -Joanne, consultant

Well my experience here in Cuernavaca with Instituto Chac-Mool was an unforgettable one. With Chac-Mool I got to visit famous places especially Mexico City at the Ballet and normal places like the orphanage. I even got the experience on how to make cheese from scratch. That was awesome. I really want to thank Chac-Mool for all the experience that you all have given me.
  -Alicia

My experience in Chac-Mool was awesome! I had such a great time, learned a lot and made new friends. I hope to return in the future.
  -Demi

My Spanish teacher is amazed at how much I learned at Chac-Mool and she is telling all the class they should go to Mexico to learn Spanish. Of course I am tell them Chac-Mool is the best.
  -D.J.

There is so much I love about Cuernavaca and the school but most of all it was my host family. Gilda was awesome.
  -Jennifer

I have such great memories of my trip and it was an eye opening experience to come to Mexico. I hope I can stay with my Mexican mama again next year. Please make it happen!
  -Candace

The staff, administrative and teaching, was very kind and helpful. Learning the language was interesting and fun at the same time. Even our youngest, who was in the beginning not so eager to go to school during holidays, got so excited within an hour of lessons that she greeted us during the first break: "It's so fun learning Spanish with games and we're going on an excursion too! I wish I could go to school here. Can we live in Mexico from now?"
  -Riane

The teachers obviously care a lot about their students and are very knowledgable and flexible! It is a great program for kids and adults, alike!
  -Catherine

I'm not sure how you did it, but my daughter now loves learning Spanish! You inspire the kids to learn. I thank you for that and for my excellent adult classes as well.
  -Cynthia

I will be recommending your Spanish classes for children to all of my friends. My kids have been exposed to the Spanish language in our home (my husband is Mexican), but it was hard to get them to speak it. Since we've returned home they are using Spanish much more often. I think your excellent teachers had everything do to with this.
  -Samantha

This has been one truly wonderful experience for my son and me. I hope to return next year. Our four weeks here in Cuernavaca have rekindled my desire to learn to speak Spanish. After two semesters of frustration in Spanish class, this experience has really allowed me the time to loop all the tiny bits and pieces of Spanish floating around my head to come together. I am once again excited about learning and reinforcing my Spanish skills. I look forward to returning to Cuernavaca again and again to solidify these elusive concepts.
  -Bridget

We've just returned from our second trip to your school, and again have only great things to say about our Spanish teachers and our host family. Thank you again.
  - -Tom

This has been a wonderful experience for our whole family. My husband and I greatly improved our ability to listen and speak Spanish. My kids have learned an incredible amount of Spanish and enjoyed learning the culture and playing with the sweet children they met. Our 'family' was just that, they worried for us constantly and were gracious as well as hospitable. The teachers were very knowledgeable and personally interested in our progress. This has been the trip of a lifetime.
  -Debbi and family

It was a joy to find a well supervised program where the kids are actually taught Spanish. Since our kids already knew quite a bit of Spanish, I was anxious for them to get to the next level. Your great teachers did an excellent job, I commend you and all the staff that made our Spanish learning vacation so successful and enjoyable.
