STUDY SPANISH IN HEREDIA

Enjoy learning Spanish surrounded by hills and volcanoes, in a town with few tourists and a lot of opportunity for Spanish practice!

Study Spanish in the mountain city of Heredia, Costa Rica, and live with one of our wonderful and friendly homestay families. This typical, small Central American city has its own charm with colonial flair, and is located less than 10 km (6 miles) from San José, the capital of Costa Rica.

The colonial building of our historic campus is an oasis on the outskirts of downtown Heredia. From the moment you walk through the door, you will be welcomed in a friendly and familiar atmosphere.

Annia and Marcelo were very helpful. The other teachers were friendly and helpful as well. I loved everything about my time here."
