I made some good memories
July 12, 2026by: Oliver Cisneros - United Statesit was good there were a lot of long bus rides but also a lot of good memories made such as playing soccer with the kids or talking to the local girls at paddle ball. The kids were really nice and so were the instructors
The best 2 weeks.
July 12, 2026by: Giana Rive - United StatesThis summer, I joined a summer program in Costa Rica. It was a very fun and exciting experience. I met many new people from different countries, and we became good friends. Everyone was kind and friendly, so I felt welcome from the first day. The program had many interesting activities. We learned about the culture, practiced our language skills, and worked together on different projects. We also visited beautiful places like beaches, forests, and small towns. Costa Rica has amazing nature, and I loved seeing the animals and plants. One of my favorite parts was spending time outside because the weather was warm and the views were beautiful. The teachers and staff were very helpful. They always answered our questions and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. I learned many new things from the people around me. This program helped me become more confident and independent. I improved my communication skills and learned how to work with people from different backgrounds. I also made memories that I will never forget. I think this summer program is a great choice for students. It is a wonderful way to learn, make new friends, and enjoy the beautiful country of Costa Rica. I would recommend it to anyone

Participated in 2018
After teaching English in Italy in 2016, I realized that I wanted to take this career path more seriously and invest in my education with a TEFL certification. I want to teach in a country that is different than America, where I can genuinely make a difference and help children to have more opportunities in their lives by speaking English and having me as their teacher.
