It’s many natural attractions include more than a dozen volcano’s, rain forests, and stunning beaches. Costa Rica has set aside a quarter of its land for nation al parks. No other country n the world has done this. It is a wildlife lovers dream. This combination of natural wonders makes Costa Rica one of the most visited countries in Latin America.

Our schools situated in the heart of Playa Tamarindo. Everything (including the beach) are just a few minutes walk away. Classes are held in a brand new custom built facility which is perfectly suited for both small group and private classes. The top floor of the building also is utilized for a student break area and a place to offer various cultural activities. Around the classrooms and the residence, students can enjoy beautiful and well maintained tropical gardens. We feel that our Spanish language school provides the perfect atmosphere for those who want to study and learn Spanish in Playa Tamarindo.

Our school has a number of air conditioned student residences on site. This is a perfect choice for those that prefer not to stay with one of our wonderful host families.
