<title>About the Institute </title> 
 

<text>The Central American Institute of Prehistoric and Traditional Cultures at Belize was established in 1991 and granted full recognition by the Ministry of Education of the Government of Belize in accordance with the Education Act of 1991, Section 38, as a non-profit research and educational institution for the purpose of promoting the preservation of ancient and traditional worldviews and materials, and to act as a center for the dissemination of knowledge and interest in the study of such cultures. The Institute aims to preserve the traditional knowledge and practices of the Maya and Garifuna cultures, and to create and share a collective consciousness of issues in the fields of ethnoscience, ecology, archaeology, and ethnology.  </text> 

Umbrella Hut






<text>The Central American Institute is located on approximately 150 acres of tropical forest, which in ancient times was the site of a Maya settlement. The Institute conducts scientific research and academic inquiry into diverse cultural themes, such as religion and ethnobotany. Emphasis is placed on educational and experiential programs relating to all aspects of ethnobiology, prehistory, ethnohistory, and the ethnographic present. Studies in the areas of ancient and indigenous cults and ritual life, including traditional healing techniques, are particularly encouraged through the Shamanistic Studies Center. 

 Approximately fifty acres of jungle terrain, kept as a nature reserve, are dedicated as an Ethnobotanical Field Station, serving as a research facility where medicinal plants of ethnopharmacological value and ritual importance can be studied in their native habitats. The Institute also promotes work in wildlife and tropical resource management and ecology, to be pursued from indigenous vantage points and with traditional understanding. In addition, the Institute encourages archaeological investigations and the preservation for national benefit of archaeological monuments and historical landmarks. 

 Research and academic programs are not limited to any particular region of the world, although Mesoamerica constitutes a focal point of interest. The Institute welcomes cooperation and exchanges with other institutions sharing like interests.  </text>

<whatis><what>COSTA RICA RAINFOREST OUTWARD BOUND ® SCHOOL</what>
<is>is committed to providing safe, educational, and empowering adventure expeditions/courses in rainforests. We are part of an international network of over 40 Outward Bound Schools world-wide. Outward Bound is a non-profit, educational organization with a focus on experiential adventure based learning. Set in tropical rainforests, Costa Rica Rainforest Outward Bound courses are nothing short of spectacular! </is></whatis>

<text>Self discovery is a natural part of any course with Outward Bound. In the words of Janet Gutherie: "High adventure is living. It's aggressive instead of passive living. You don't lie back and let it happen to you, you exert some influence over your life. And in so doing, you become more fully human." As you trek through remote areas of Rainforest with our indigenous guides, white-water raft, and climb with safety ropes in the Rainforest canopy you will find your emotions, mind, and horizons expanding in some new and fascinating ways.

Imagine yourself taking part in the activities we do in the Rainforests. Our courses are far from a "survival experience" however, they are not for everyone. Most people in reasonable physical condition can successfully complete a course with either Save The Rainforest Adventures or Costa Rica Rainforest Outward Bound School. The latter tends to be more physically demanding and hence is appropriate for those wanting more of a challenge. Save The Rainforest Adventures are custom designed and can vary from courses emphasizing Rainforest studies, cultural anthropology, Spanish immersion, etc. Which ever course you choose, you are in for the adventure of a lifetime!! </text>

<text>You're only limited by your imagination, and AFS opens up a world of adventure by offering exchange programs in 55 countries. AFS programs present a variety of choices, allowing nearly 10,000 participants annually to adjust the program focus according to their individual needs.

The Year Program (YP) , far and away AFS's most popular option, is a year-long educational exploration of another country's culture. The AFS Year Program student lives with a host family, attends a local school and becomes involved in community activities. Students completely immerse themselves in another culture by nurturing relationships with the local community, speaking the local language and taking part in their daily routines. Host school attendance is required, not optional, for Year Program participants.

The Semester Program (SP) lasts about six months over the course of an academic school semester. Like the Year Program, students stay with host families, attend local schools and take part in community activities. Host school attendance is required, not optional, for Semester Program participants.

The Intensive Program (IP) is a shorter-length option involving exchanges lasting from one to three months, usually during a break in the student's academic year. The Intensive Program student may select from a number of options, including a traditional homestay, a concentrated language program, an outdoor education program or a cultural studies program.

AFS organizations worldwide are constantly adding to their core programs by offering activities for different age groups, introducing new country combinations and establishing variable components such as domestic programs, vocational-based short programs for individuals over the age of 18, teacher/educator exchanges and School Link projects among primary and secondary schools. For information about offerings in the country where you live, contact your local AFS office listed below: </text>

<text>Learn Spanish for less in beautiful Antigua, Guatemala! At the Academia de Espanol Guatemala all of our teaching is one-on-one, and our students live with local families. The weekly cost of $180 includes 7 hours a day of one-on-one instruction with professional teachers, a private room in a local family's home, and three meals a day every day except Sunday.

Each of our teachers has a minimum of 10 years experience in teaching Spanish as a second language, and Antigua, a cobblestoned colonial town, surrounded by three volcanoes, provides the perfect environment in which to learn Spanish. The climate is forever springlike, and it is possible to walk everywhere in this jewel city of Central America.

Classes are held Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-12 a.m. and 2 p.m.-5 p.m., and Immersion study enables students at any level to speak Spanish from the very first minute. Even those who have had no prior Spanish exposure will be completing basic Spanish phrases after the first day!

The Academia de Espanol Guatemala offers a wide variety of after-hours activities free of charge. These include movie nights, basketball, cultural activities, Latin dance classes, Happy hours, volleyball and, of course, many fiestas. Complimentary refreshments are available throughout the day, and students have full access to the school's cable TV, telephone/fax, copier, and mail and check-cashing services.

<location><title>Location</title>

<text>Antigua is a small, cobble-stoned Spanish colonial city, once the capital of New Spain, but destroyed in 1773 by an earthquake. Impressive ruins of churches, palaces, and other buildings make it the only city of its kind in Latin America. In 1965 it was named a "Monument of the Americas" by the Pan American Institute. Situated at 5,000 feet and ringed by three volcanos, it has a perfect climate. In the city and the surrounding villages, students will find a panoply of stimulating places to visit, both during classes and weekends. Only 40 minutes from Guatemala City, Antigua is situated in a valley surrounded by three volcanoes.

The weather is usually warm during the day, all year round, generally about 70 degrees F. Due to the high elevation, the temperature tends to be cool in the late afternoon, evening, and early morning. From about May until November, you can expect sudden summer rainshowers in the afternoon. Dress in Guatemala is informal and conservative. It is a good idea to bring along a warm sweater or jacket and a comfortable pair of shoes. Depending on the time of year, you might want to bring an umbrella or rain cape. Slacks are appropriate. </text>
</location>

<course>

<title>Course Content</title>

<text>No language other than Spanish is used. The courses are designed to begin with mini-dialogues as a total system for learning grammar, vocabulary, and survival skills. Some experts believe Guatemala is an excellent country in which to learn Spanish because the speech and writing have fewer adopted English words and slang. Course work focuses on daily life, and assignments might include reading the local paper, listening to the news, or discussing politics, local entertainment, or current events. Textbooks used include: Amsco Primer Libro, Segundo Libro, Third Year Spanish, Cómo Se Dice, Español en Guatemala. Students change teachers every week and may request to keep the same teacher a second week, but no longer. One must change teachers after two consecutive weeks.

Each student is given a brief oral exam by their teacher to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Flexibility is paramount. Students can pick the areas they wish to emphasize - such as conversation, comprehension, writing, etc. At the end of the course, students interested in having their Spanish competency evaluated may choose to take a half-hour interview, the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) style exam to determine Spanish competency. PLFM is certified by the FSI to administer the exam. Students may also request to take a written exam. </text>

<title>Length of Program/Study Schedule</title>

<text>This is determined by each student, from one to twelve weeks. We do suggest a minimum of six weeks for intermediates; beginners usually study a minimum of eight to twelve weeks. A minimum of two weeks is required during the months of June, July, and August. Classes are held Monday through Friday: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. and 2 - 5 p.m., except official holidays. The seven hour schedules includes two 30-minute breaks, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. </text>

<title>Class Structure</title>

<text>Students and teachers work one-on-one. This allows each student to work at his individual level. </text>

<title>Teachers</title>

<text>To ensure quality, all Spanish teachers are native Guatemalans who have taken courses in education. All the teachers receive 100 hours of intensive training in teaching Spanish as a second language, and the training is updated every six months. </text>

<title>Academic Credit</title>

<text>Documentation of study can be provided by request. Based upon this record, colleges or universities may grant credit directly to their currently enrolled students. The school is a Guatemala accredited institution. </text>
</course>

<homestay>

<title>Homestays/Accommodations</title>

<text>During the course, one may choose to live with a Guatemalan family here in Antigua. All families are within walking distance of the school. The accommodations are modest, but each student has his own room. Living arrangements can be made for couples and families, but it is necessary to arrange this well in advance of arrival. Students may also make their own living arrangements in a hotel, pension, or private home. We can provide recommendations. </text>
</homestay>

<fees><title>Fees</title>

U.S. dollars are the only accepted foreign currency here, and we suggest that you bring travelers checks, or your personal check if you have an account in a U.S. bank, or dollars in cash. The $40 registration fee must be received to confirm your registration. The payment for tuition and homestay for the full period is due on the Monday morning you begin classes, and can be paid with cash, money order, personal check (U.S. banks only) or travelersâ checks. Credit cards are not accepted for payment.

Lending Deposit.

There is a lending deposit of U.S. $20 for the grammar workbooks used during the program. The deposit is returned to you in full upon return of our materials. </text>

<title>Registration</title>

<text>It is necessary to make an advance reservation. It is advisable to register three to four weeks prior to the date you wish to begin. Study dates for the months of mid-May through August sometimes fill up early in the year. We do occasionally have space available at short notice due to cancellations. Our U.S. office provides fast and convenient service. Please call (800) 552-2051 to register by telephone or request a registration form. </text>

<title>Refunds</title>

<text>The $40 registration fee is non-refundable. If you cancel with advance notification, we will hold it for your use for a period of one year.
