Class Schedule
Classes take place between Monday and Friday from 8:00. We alternate class schedules weekly with a combination of morning and afternoon classes. This alternating schedule becomes particularly important in the rainy season when mornings are sunny and afternoons are rainy. An example of such a schedule is: Monday, Wednesday and Friday classes from 8am to 12pm and on Tuesday and Thursday classes from 13.15 to 17.15 or vice versa.

You should bring a dictionary, notebooks and colored pens. It is useful to have 2 notebooks, one for new vocabulary, and one for the exercises in class. Textbooks and other teaching materials are provided, but it is advisable to have a good system of keeping your notes together.

Activities & Excursions
We offer a wide selection of activities (all in Spanish) after classes and on weekends. We have a notice board in the reception area which is updated daily with various options available. We encourage all students to participate in as many activities as possible, as you will find they greatly enhance your understanding of, and connection to, the culture.

LATIN DANCE CLASSES: You have the opportunity to participate in classes where you will learn salsa, merengue, cumbia and marcado, the most popular dances in Costa Rica. This enables you to go out to discos and dances with confidence and interact on a fun social level with Ticos.

COSTA RICAN COOKING CLASS: Once a week we teach students how to make typical Costa Rican dishes, a nice skill to take home and share with friends and family!

LECTURES: We hold periodic talks and informal gatherings which cover a diverse range of subjects and inform students about topics such as the ecology and environment of Costa Rica, Latin-American literature, politics, women's studies and other socially and culturally related themes.

FILM NIGHT: Once a week we show a film in Spanish, an entertaining and practical way to practice the language.

INTERCAMBIOS: Students may sign up in the school for one on one 'cultural exchanges', where Spanish students meet with Tico English students at the school to practice conversation skills (in both languages) in a relaxed atmosphere, and to make new friends from the local community.

"FIESTAS PATRONALES": These local celebrations are held in all Costa Rican cities and villages every year, usually over a weekend. They are advertised throughout the country and are an excellent source of cultural entertainment. You can watch bullfights "Tico" style, where the bull is not harmed in any way, participate in traditional games and try out a variety of local fare.
