Our New Website & Location

There’s literally a world of opportunity out there if you are looking to expand your global perspective and your education to include studying abroad.  As Mark Twain said, “Traveling is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness…”

At CELA, we continue to add to our learning opportunities and are reaching more students in colleges and universities all over North America in a variety of disciplines.  Over the past eight years, we have created engaging learning experiences for over 1500 students.  Our offerings for courses, faculty-led groups, and internships have expanded to meet the needs of students and professors in many fields of study.  We look forward to sharing the engaging experiences in Belize to many more young people and their faculty.



To support our expanded offerings, we have a new and improved website design, making information easier to find and the application or planning process a breeze to start.  We invite you to take a look and if you don’t find what you're looking for we may be able to create the perfect opportunity for you.


Apart from our new Website, C.E.L.A. Belize has changed locations. C.E.L.A. was able to move to a new location after months of searching for the right place for months.  We outgrew our office in downtown San Ignacio in 2018 after only a year.  We have moved to a large house on the La Loma Luz Blvd., right in front of the horseracing track near the river and the bypass bridge.  The new office is a large four-bedroom house which gives the staff and management room to work, meet and collaborate.  We have a conference room and spaces for classes in the comfort of air conditioning if needed.  We now have plenty of room to grow.

We have plenty of space to park in the yard and we are suburban enough to have horses grazing, iguanas sunbathing and large birds stalking their next meal.  When giving directions, we just say right in front of the horse racetrack in Santa Elena or across the street from the La Pasadita bar.  Those are good location anchors for most anyone living in Cayo. A sign will be going up in May.  We will host an Open House in June which is a great time to celebrate our new space, our growth and the community engagement we provide in many different ways.
