Our Study abroad and full Spanish immersion program.

"Our study abroad Spanish immersion program is dynamic, offering students the opportunity to learn a second language while also earning AP credits. This certification is beneficial and typically required for college admissions, as it demonstrates their proficiency in a foreign language."

The benefits of being bilingual are numerous, making our students significantly more hireable upon completing their education with us. Most importantly, proficiency in a second language prepares them for the realities of the workforce. Cooley, a prominent sociologist, once stated that "language is the container of thought," highlighting that our interactions and cultural identity are shaped by our linguistic abilities. This understanding provides our students with an incredibly rich cultural experience. 

Our program offers full Spanish immersion, and typically within 4 to 6 months, students achieve fluency in conversational Spanish. Remarkably, they acquire this skill naturally in one of the best environments for language learning.

Typically, students travel to our facilities in Costa Rica after participating in the program in the United States, with some exceptions. During the winter months, we take the entire student group to escape the inclement weather of the Rocky Mountains, where we conduct our U.S. program.

Costa Rica stands out as one of the most literate countries globally, boasting a 95% literacy rate. The emphasis on education among Costa Ricans fosters an exceptional academic atmosphere for our students, contributing to our historical college acceptance rate of 86%.

Students are housed in the homes of our trusted staff members, fostering a foreign exchange experience. Our staff, with over 20 years of service, are highly regarded and play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth transition for students as they embark on their language and cultural immersion journey.
