Mrs. Ellen Deitsch Stern
Director

The American International School of Guatemala is a Pre-K to twelve school that serves approximately 350 children. At Colegio Maya, we hold high expectations for each student’s academic performance. Classes are small with 12-18 diverse students in each individual class. Typically there are two classes per grade level and each one is taught by  both qualified and experienced teachers. Our innovative, progressive instructional model ensures that every student receives high individual support. And our school’s motto, “Catch the Spirit”, distinguishes Colegio Maya from other international schools for it portrays our commitment for maintaining traditions and rituals that promote and foster the Mayan spirit within not only instruction and learning, but within co-curricular and extra-curricular programs as well. 
As you peruse our website I invite you to read our powerful vision and mission statements as well as important “non-negotiables”, for you will learn more about how administrators and teachers possess exemplary skill sets, and maintain high expectations for our motivated student body.  Colegio Maya teachers are known for skillfully engaging students in learning activities that not only promote critical thinking, communication and collaboration, but also serve to address the respective multiple intelligences of each individual learner. 
It is my privilege to serve as the director of the Colegio Maya community.  I remain at your service for any questions or comments you may have.

Colegio Maya is a very vibrant, dynamic educational institution and a wonderful community of learners. Our secondary school continues to provide a great educational atmosphere where students can use their multiple intelligences and talents to learn and become global citizens of the world.
At the high school level we offer a rigorous and challenging academic program including the following eight Advance Placement (AP) courses: AP World History; AP US History; AP Psychology: AP English Language; AP English Literature; AP Spanish Literature; AP Spanish Language and AP Calculus. We also offer an inviting variety of elective courses for students to choose from, which serve to enhance their already challenging academic load.
Our exploratory program at the middle school level allows students to "explore" different courses throughout 6th, 7th and 8th grade, such as photography, Model United Nations, Read On! art, drama, music, writing, adventure and computing. Our advisory/reading program at this level provides students with the opportunity to engage in activities related to the ten values Maya has established as a school as well as an opportunity for student to read books, magazines or articles according to the individual student's choice.
I look forward to another great academic year at Maya where we can all continue to enjoy learning in the wonderful academic atmosphere Colegio Maya provides.

Welcome to Colegio Maya Elementary where students come to school each day with a smile and ready to flourish under the nurturing environment our classroom teachers provide. The elementary embraces and encourages the diversity among our students by delivering lessons that are challenging and that meet the needs of each individual child in order to lay the foundation for children to become life long learners. We support Howard Gardener's Multiple Intelligence Theory to provide the best in differentiated instruction as well as other best practices such as: Talents Unlimited, ESOL in the Mainstream, and AIMS (Activities Integrating Math & Science) that provide hands on, inquiry science learning. We have a vigorous mathematics program called Math Trailblazers that was developed by the University of Chicago. It's a conceptual math program that encourages students to not only learn their facts but to think about the many ways a problem can be solved as well as understanding what numbers are all about in a fun and stimulating way. Colegio Maya also offers an After School Activities program each semester where students in grades first through fifth can register for such activities as: karate, soccer, arts & crafts, basketball, flag football, photography, and more depending on sponsors and interest. As you can see we are a very dynamic elementary providing a wonderfully caring, trusting environment where students feel safe to take risks and grow academically. So, if you are looking for fun, challenging, nurturing school for your child to experience diversity and make new friends who come from all over the world, look no further. Colegio Maya is for you.
