|  The
intensive Spanish program at the school is designed
to help students become proficient and comfortable communicating
in Spanish. Students attend classes with native Spanish speaking
instructors and class sizes are small to assure each student receives
personal attention. Beginner, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2,
and Advanced class levels are available.
Students cover new material
for approximately two hours per day in class and then meet with
an instructor for another one to two hours per day for labs. Labs
are optional and are designed to reinforce the lessons covered
in class through homework assistance, games, readings, conversational
practice, study aids, and lessons about Costa Rican history, culture,
and foods. Classes are Monday through Friday. Weekends are left
open for students to relax or travel independently. The third
weekend (in the four week program) is a designated long weekend
(no classes on Friday through Sunday) so that students can take
a longer trip to explore Costa Rica. Spanish programs are available
in one, two, and four week durations year-round and can also be
combined with Surf or Art classes.

The school staff can arrange
additional field trips for students. Possibilities include deep-sea
fishing, sailing, kayaking, horseback riding, canopy tour, and
sunset boat trips to name a few. Prices for these vary according
to availability, number of people going, and the season, but we
can definitely help you receive a discount on these fun activities
in our area. In addition to helping you set up extra-curricular
activities, we can also help you plan your weekend trips to other
destinations in Costa Rica.
