An Amazing Experience!
August 16, 2025by: Brooklyn Waddell - CanadaMy time as an exchange student in Costa Rica has truly been such a great opportunity and experience. Living with my host family made me feel truly welcomed and part of their home, and every day gave me a chance to learn more about the culture, the language, and myself. From the beautiful nature and exciting adventures to the small everyday moments, I gained new perspectives and made memories I will never forget.
Costa Rica is Awesome!
September 22, 2015by: Sierra MI loved my summer camp in Costa Rica. My Spanish improved greatly! Now I can hear and understand Spanish when it's spoken very fast! My speaking still needs improvement but it's just my confidence in the way. My favorite excursion was going to La Paz volcano and waterfalls which was so beautiful! We saw all sorts of animals that I had only seen in books. The culture there was so easy going, we constantly heard the phrase,"Pura Vida" meaning pure life. I would recommend this trip to all highschool students interested in Spanish and the Costa Rican culture! Pura Vida!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much supervision is there?
Students are supervised and chaperoned at all times. They are never allowed to leave the school grounds or residence without being accompanied by a chaperone. They are picked up and dropped off at their host family daily.
How will this program improve my child’s Spanish skills?
Through language immersion, your child will learn practical language skills in a classroom and is encouraged to use these with local, native speakers during excursions and/or host family experiences. Studies show that 4 weeks of full language immersion can be equivalent to a yearlong college language course because of the intensity of use.
What is the climate like in Costa Rica?
Costa Rica is usually warm, although climates vary depending on altitude and location within the country. There are two seasons, rainy and dry. The dry season generally runs from January to May, and the rainy season lasts from May/April to November/December. Even during the dry season, there is a chance of rain every day, so be prepared for humidity!
