Accredited Service Learning—Costa Rica | Guatemala | Peru

Everything was perfect! Had so much fun. everyone accommodated to each persons needs! we stayed for 2 weeks and had the time of our lives. Would totally come again, i completely recommend for anyone who comes to costa rica!

Excellent program. I’m a professor and I have worked with Maximo to bring undergrad student groups to Costa Rica since 2012. They provide excellent academic, health and safety and logistical supports. They also have numerous contacts and relationships in the local communities for sustainability and volunteer projects.

Originally this program came up in my last year of high school because I was thinking of doing a gap year, instead I chose to go to school. Currently in my second year and I decided to do a semester in San Jose, Costa Rica. If I’m being honest I wish I chose this than going to school. I’m doing accredited classes while enjoying my time here learning Spanish. If I were to compare my experience from my university at home and here, I am way more happier here, this is probably the happiest I’ve even especially when it comes down to my education. Here I don’t mind putting in the extra work just so then I can have extra time to explore the city with friends or even go on tours is way more worth it. I wish I had done it sooner
