What Tuition Covers
Tuition covers five hours per
weekday of individual instruction. Also included is seven
days of room and board and three meals per day with a local family.
Residence accommodations will include private sleeping room, sterilized or
bottled drinking water, and warm bathing water. Residence weeks
normally run from Sunday through Saturday, and teaching weeks from Monday
to Friday. Students wishing to begin residence or teaching weeks on
other days may do so, however, with an adjusted per diem payment schedule
designed to ensure fair compensation to teachers and family.
Registration
Fee
Centro Maya charges a $40 per student
registration fee to help offset the cost of internet presence, telephone
communication, postage and shipping, and print advertising. As the
name implies, this is a "fee" rather than a "deposit," and will not be
applied to tuition. Registration cannot be completed until the fee is
received.
Payment of
Fees
Centro Maya Xela accepts payment in the
form of U.S. dollars, Guatemalan quetzales, or travelers checks drawn in
U.S. dollars.
The first week's tuition plus registration fee MUST be paid in advance of arrival. Subsequent study or residence weeks
may be paid on Thursday or Friday of the previous week. Normally,
administrators prefer not to collect tuition beyond one week in
advance. This is not a hard and fast rule, however, so that
recipients of grants or employees of an organization who must pay by
purchase order or business check made out to Centro Maya may do so.
The school should be contacted in advance in this case.
You may pay additional weeks of tuition by credit card however, there is a $10.00 extra fee PER WEEK on all tuition payments made by credit card.
