About Colegio Americano

The American School of Guatemala (CAG) is an independent, non-profit, non-denominational, college preparatory school that offers a rigorous academic program for preschoolers to 12th graders, modeled after the best educational practices and methodologies of the United States of America.

We are founded on the principles of a co-educational, bi-cultural (Guatemala-United States), bilingual (Spanish-English) program. It serves the Guatemalan community and other families who value a holistic approach to education.

CAG is fully accredited in the U.S. by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and is recognized by the Guatemalan Ministry of Education as a Laboratory School.

As a member of the Del Valle Grupo Educativo, CAG is actively committed to the development of education in Guatemala.

We Believe:

  • Our students, as individuals, have unique intellectual, social, emotional, and physical characteristics and needs; 
  • AII students can learn, and they learn most effectively when they are actively engaged in the learning process when they are faced with challenging expectations, and when they are held to clearly defined standards of excellence; 
  • Learning should take place within a physically and psychologically safe environment; 
  • AII members of the school community, which includes faculty, staff, parents, and students share the responsibility for accomplishing our mission; 
  • Continuous improvement is essential to providing quality educational opportunities for our students. 


The faculty at CAG is highly engaged in the life of the school and inspires a culture of contribution and collaboration; leading by example in inspiring our students to model after these same attributes. 

Our faculty and staff enrich our students' learning experience and nurture and prepare our students to be the next generation of leaders the world needs.
