Amerispan- Study Spanish in San Jose, Costa Rica
Costa Rica
Term: Throughout the year
Dates: New classes begin each month
Description:
With a population of over 1/2 million, San Jose is more similar to North American cities than most Central American cities. The city offers good shopping, fine dining and an active night-life, while the city's residential area where our partner school is located offers a more quiet study environment. In San Jose, AmeriSpan works with one of Costa Rica's premier language schools, located in the eastern suburb of San Pedro, near Costa Rica's largest university. The school offers excellent programs for the more mature language students who are looking for a serious and challenging language learning experience. Many of its students come from Europe (up to 40%) providing a diverse mix of students. Its location near the University and superb, custom-built facilities - including a computer lab, terrace with a mountain view, a cafeteria and gardens - provide an ideal learning environment. Program at San Jose (included in tuition): - 4 hours daily instruction (20 hrs/week) - Small group instruction (max 8) - Private room with host family - Breakfast and dinner daily - Laundry service - Airport pick-up - Travel insurance & assistance - 'In-Touch' message service - 2-3 organized activities per week
Highlights:
Known as the Switzerland of Central America, Costa Rica has an abundance of natural beauty and is populated by a friendly, well-educated people. Costa Rica has obtained the highest standard of living in Central America by embracing democracy and disbanding its army. This small country is a paradise for nature lovers with many national parks, jungles, volcanoes, beaches and more rivers and water per square mile than any other country in the world, excluding New Zealand. However, the small pre-Colombian Indigenous population was wiped out by diseases brought to the new world by the conquistadors.

AmeriSpan Study Abroad's Mission Statement: Since 1993, AmeriSpan has sent more than 23,000 people abroad. Our staff has three passions: language, culture, and travel. Individually and as a group, we have accumulated experiences and knowledge related to these passions. We have traveled to more than 65 countries - every continent except Antarctica - and speak 10 languages.
We are happy to share this enormous amount of relevant knowledge with you. Every AmeriSpan staff member has studied and/or lived abroad for extended periods of time. We understand your questions and concerns because we have personally dealt with the same issues. We have gone to great lengths to make it easier for you than it was for us. After enrolling in a program, you will receive a copy of the "Need-To-Know" fact sheets on the country or countries that you will be visiting. These fact sheets include information about entry requirements, climate, health and many other "Need-To-Know" things. If you still have questions, we'll be happy to answer them. We are neither a language school nor a travel agent we're a hybrid of the two, a language travel organization.
AmeriSpan has evaluated hundreds of schools, host families and destinations to determine which programs to offer. Our independence allows us to give you unbiased evaluations of the programs. We do not just list what is included, rather, we clearly state our opinions. Each program description contains a program review that describes what we like and what we don't like about the program.
Aside from assisting you with which program to choose, we work hard to make the whole process as simple as possible. AmeriSpan pre-arranges your school, lodging, airport pick-up and other services. With AmeriSpan, you will not have to worry about international wire transfers, international phone calls or dozens of other possible complications with arrangements and money.
Year Founded: 1993
