|  All
of the families are carefully screened and are accustomed to housing
foreign students. The families are very patient and go out of
their way to help the students learn Spanish. Our families are
diverse - young couples without children, couples with children
(of all age groups) and older couples with grown children who
are no longer at home. We always do our best to accommodate students'
wishes concerning homestay families. The majority of the homestay's
are within walking distance of the school.
In terms of the standard of
living of the host families, all are middle class by Costa Rican
standards. Students will find a simpler way of life than to which
they are accustomed to. However, Costa Rica is not a typical developing
country and many homes have the same consumer items which are
found in North America and Europe. All of the homes are clean
and students have a room of their own.
Staying with a local host family
is a great way to learn more about Costa Rica and is another great
place where you can practice the Spanish that you are learning
in the Spanish language school.
If you have questions or concerns
during your stay, you will be happy to know that there is an on
site home stay coordinator at the Spanish language school.
