What we like about the school
  • Rooftop terrace
  • E-learning platform.

AKO Language School offers foreigners the possibility to learn Spanish in Mexico, simply, while helping them understand the local culture.

Inspired by the ideals of ancient Greek philosophers, the school provides comprehensive accompaniment so that you can feel comfortable and safe in Mexico while taking Spanish lessons in Playa del Carmen.

A few years ago, AKO Language School began working with students who wanted to learn Spanish easily so that they could more fully enjoy their stay in a Mexico.

Today, many students have been able to meet this goal and are able to talk with local people, make friends, meet more people, and enjoy Mexican culture thanks to their decision to learn the Spanish at AKO Language School in Mexico.

Taking into account the needs and goals of students, AKO teachers understood that it was important to go beyond being a simple Spanish school in Mexico, they had to become companions to their students.

AKO is more than a Language School; here you will find a group of friends, support for your trip, a unique cultural experience, and a connection with Mexico that will last forever.

The school is located in the heart of the Riviera Maya, on 4th Street and Avenue 25.
