The "rich coast". There is almost nothing more to add, so well does the name describe this place. Coasts, more accurately, because the people of Costa Rica live for and by the ocean, in their reclusive fishing villages and seaside resorts where the nightclubs never close. Rich because this country possesses one of the most varied and abundant ranges of flora and fauna in the world.

Courses we offer in our language schools in Costa Rica:

* Standard course
* Intensive course
* Combined course

Highlights:
We have language schools in three destinations:
San Jose - Coronado, Costa Rica

San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, is a modern and cosmopolitan city. Nevertheless, its diverse museums and cultural centers still bear witness to its rich past. San Rafael de Coronado is located about 12 kilometers north of the capital, just near the Braulio Carrillo reserve, a superb national park where you can find volcanoes,the jungle and waterfalls. With a setting between the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean, and mountain ranges stretching across it, Costa Rica is a real paradise for nature lovers. It was the first Latin American country to develop ecotourism, putting forward its luxurious vegetation, exotic fauna and the incredible biodiversity of its land.

San Jose - Santo Domingo, Costa Rica
Located mid-way between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean, on the border between the province of Heredia and that of San José, Santo Domingo is a charming town of 50,000 inhabitants, which is reputed for its friendliness and quality of life. In the evening, you will always find an opportunity to go out with your friends to the cafés, bars and restaurants of Santo Domingo. Unless you would prefer to take a short bus ride to meet up with Costa Rican students from the University of Heredia and join in on their discussions and parties. San José, also accessible in less than 10 minutes by bus from Santo Domingo, is the vibrant and cosmopolitan capital of Costa Rica. Located in the eastern part of the Central Valley (Valle Centrale), it occupies the geographical centre of the country and enjoys a temperate tropical climate. An important administrative, cultural, university and industrial centre, a crossroads on the Pan-American Highway, linked up to the Atlantic and Pacific ocenas by railway and serviced by an international airport, San Jose is one of the most dynamic capitals of Central America, at the heart of splendid natural surroundings.

Playa Jaco, Costa Rica
In Playa Jaco, the lifestyle is peaceful and relaxed... but not lacking in excitement! This seaside town overflows with life. Visitors, tourists and Costa Ricans flood in: they love Playa Jaco, its ambiance, its nightlife, its friendly locals and especially its beaches. The beaches in and around Playa Jaco, on the Pacific coast, are among the most beautiful in Costa Rica. Extraordinary panoramas, ocean as far as the eye can see, clean beaches and great waves, and that's just the beginning! It's location only adds to Playa Jaco's popularity: two hours drive from San Jose, the capital, this small coastal village is very easy to access. Costa Rica is full of treasures to discover, its facets are multiple and each is as fascinating as the rest. At 3,000 meters in altitude or by the ocean, on the beaches or the volcanoes, in the big cities of the plain or the tourist areas on the coast, in the dry season or the rains, on the Pacific Ocean or the Caribbean Sea, from north to south and east to west... there are always new things to discover in Costa Rica.
