About Program

Spend 1-2 months over the summer living with a host family and attending a local Costa Rican high school. Boost your college apps and learn Spanish!

Can’t miss part of your semester or a full academic year? No te preocupes! (Psst – that means “don’t worry”)

During North American summers, Costa Rican schools are still in session! You can still attend a local high school and live with a local host family and get the full exchange experience without missing your school year.

This program is perfect for you if:
- You love sustainability and green tourism and want to experience it firsthand from the experts
- You’re looking to learn Spanish in a non-intimidating environment
- You want to spend your weekends embracing the tico lifestyle – bring on the family dinners!
