Spanish schools in Costa Rica offer a really wide array of environments and options for the learning visitor. No matter where you choose to school yourself, or what your goals are with learning the language, the notable warmth and friendliness of the Costa Rican people ensures a special learning experience and an unforgettable visit. Students and their instructors or homestay sponsors often form lifelong friendships, and it's not unusual to find Spanish school groups together singing karaoke on the weekends or going on a river rafting trip together.

Spanish schools abound in every corner of Costa Rica, from homestays on the beaches of Manuel Antonio, to volunteer programs in the rainforest, to classes at the university campus where you can receive college credit for your coursework.

Some visitors choose immersion in a little Costa Rican village with daily latin dance lessons to attend Spanish school, while others will choose a split-campus Spanish school where they can move between the capital of San Jose and the beauty of the beach. Some opt for a combination of adventure tours and Spanish lessons at the same time, while some will volunteer fighting deforestation while improving their language skills.

Most Spanish schools will offer small teacher to student ratios, often only four to twelve students per teacher, to ensure that their students receive the personal attention they need to acheive their educational goals. Students and visitors of any age are welcome and common, and group rates can also be easily negotiated.
