Language Programs in Atenas, Costa Rica

I've traveled with school groups to Oaxaca, Mexico and to Granada, Spain. In both cases, the programs delivered what we expected and more. These are unique programs because of their small scale and personal touch. They balance Spanish language instruction (which is notably very good), cultural experiences and home stay time. Any small glitch or need is addressed quickly and effectively. Special attention is paid to details such as celebrating student birthdays. The staff are accommodating, flexible, kind and professional. Our school chose to travel with Arcos again this year -- this time to Costa Rica.

I love my exchange. Life changing. I miss it everyday. It was the most beautiful experience. I learned so much about myself and others. It made me independent, and took me out of my comfort zone. I become more confident in my speaking and understand of Spanish, and well as the culture. I fell in love with the country, and the people. My home stay was amazing and I keep in touch with them often. As well as the friends I made, which are going to be lifelong friendships. I fell in love with traveling and this program and recommended it anyone that even considers going. It was the best decision of my life.
