Description: The Spanish language school gives volunteers the opportunity to learn Spanish or advance their knowledge. This study Spanish project is designed for our volunteers to improve their Spanish before beginning their actual program, or for volunteers without previous Spanish classes. This school is perfect for every level; advanced students or for beginners.

uVolunteer believes that you should have a well balanced work and play schedule. This means you will only be in class for 4 hours per day, 5 days per week (Monday to Friday). For the remainder of your time, you will be free to enjoy the vacationing aspects of your trip.

Highlights: Where will I be studying?

You will be studying in San Jose, which is the capital of Costa Rica. San Jose is a very sophisticated city with many attractions in and around the city. San Jose is also very close to beaches, national parks, and volcanoes. They have a variety of shopping opportunities, restaurants and bars. In the center, you will find the only outdoor market in Costa Rica. Here you can find unique souvenir items such as hammocks and jewelry at a very inexpensive price. It is home to many universities which make for a very crazy nightlife scene. uVolunteer anticipates and encourages your desire for travel and adventure. Your time away from volunteering is open for you to decide your activities. You may decide to take advantage of the local culture and spend time within the community over the weekend. Otherwise, there is ample opportunity to explore Costa Rica and all it has to offer. San Ramon is incredibly beautiful and full of fun activities in which you can take part. It is also conveniently located to beaches and other tourist-friendly areas.
