Gap Year with Monteverde Friends School

Spend a semester or year in the cloud-forest of Costa Rica with the Monteverde Friends School. Study Spanish, audit the courses you're most interested in, be part of the graduating class' activities, and join into a dynamic Quaker community. Then let us know what your learning goals are so we can craft a volunteer program that builds you knowledge and resume. Maybe it's helping teach English to younger students, or clearing trails in the rainforest, or researching environmental innovations for a new building project... More than just an adventure (though we do have zip lines and nearby beaches too!), we want to help you grow and prepare for whatever is next on your journey.
