Nice School - But Could Be Better
Colegio Interamericano is nestled in “La Montaña,” a zone of Guatemala City that is away from most of the hustle and bustle of the capital city. The kids are great, and the school has made some advancements recently in terms of upgrading their infrastructure. Having said that, some of the physical class sizes still feel a little packed relative to the number of kids they have in each classroom, and there’s still a pretty disparity between expatriate and local Guatemalan teachers, some of which teach the same grades and subjects but with presumably different pay, and at times, different levels and quality of teaching.
Interamericano seems to be overshadowed sometimes by the other two international schools – Colegio Americano and Colegio Maya – but remains a viable option for many families.
