'Celebrate Mexico' Educators Seminar
How to bring the best of Mexico into the classroom through innovative Spanish language activities
July 1 to 25, 2026
Who doesn’t love a celebration? And no celebrations are more colorful or exuberant than the many cultural celebrations that take place in Mexico throughout the year. Each celebration has customs which have long been associated with it…foods, music, clothing…which make these uniquely Mexican holidays a perfect vehicle for bringing culture and language into a Spanish language class, regardless of the level of the class or the age of the students. From Three Kings Day on January 5 to the eating of 12 grapes on December 31 at midnight, Mexicans have a host of observances, some just for fun and some very serious, which teachers can bring introduce into their classrooms to combine the language learning with cultural understanding of this fascinating country just south of the United States.
Cemanahuac can accept educators at all levels of Spanish into this seminar, and social studies, ESL, and art teachers will also find the content of this program to be of interest to them and will provide a wealth of information and activities to enrich their classroom activities. Each potential student is tested and placed in an appropriate class, but the cultural content will be similar in the classes at all levels of Spanish language ability.
Fee for the two-week seminar will be $1,700 US, which will include registration, tuition, family housing with all meals (single occupancy), one full-day field study trip, two half-day field study trips, a walking tour of Cuernavaca, and farewell dinner, printed materials, and a certificate of attendance.
