About.
The Campesino Spanish School Hijos del Maiz is an alternative creation supporting dreams in the community. It is a permanent state of learning, exchanging with other communities and cultures in a dynamic transformation towards social justice.
The campesino Spanish school Hijos del Maiz is located in El Lagartillo, a rural community in the northeast of Nicaragua. Hijos del Maiz is a project by the community for the community with over six years of experience in language instruction. We are a group of young people struggling for change and our spanish teachers are both agriculturalists and university graduates from the community.
Students will receive 4 hours of one-to-one classes each day with trained teachers. The student may decide each day where to hold the class, in a classroom or in a field under a tree.
In Hijos del Maiz the student learns Spanish and also learns about our lives as campesinos by sharing with us. The student is also invited to share his/her own knowledge whether it is practical, artistic, intellectual or spiritual. There are opportunities for students to work as volunteers on community projects in El Lagartillo or in neighbouring communities.
