Learn Spanish in Coronado

Spanish Immersion in Costa Rica

Learning Spanish abroad in Coronado, Costa Rica is one of many language immersion programs offered by AmeriSpan. 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 national parks, jungles, volcanoes, beaches, and more water per square mile than any other country in the world, excluding New Zealand. However, the small pre-Columbian indigenous population was wiped out by diseases brought to the new world by the conquistadors.

Learn Spanish Language in Costa Rica:
Coronado (pop. 60,000) is a sunny suburb of San Jose, located about 6 miles from the hustle and bustle of the city. This little town resembles the foggy cities described in fairy tales, and is known for “Las Nubes” (the clouds), a beautiful forest of mountains and dairy farms. It is a nice location for hiking and be sure to try the tasty Coronado cheese. Coronado is also an easy commute to the beautiful Braulio Carrillo National Park.

**Note: Students should remember that the elevation here is higher than the rest of the central valley, and therefore should dress a bit more warmly!

School Facilities: Our school is located on the site of an old farm, surrounded by tropical gardens. The building has 9 classrooms, reception area, multimedia lab with computers and Internet access, a resource library for students, and a cafeteria. The school is located only about 10 blocks from the main bus terminal in town. Maximum 70 students per day.

Participants: All ages but mostly independent travelers under 30 years old. Good mix of European & North Americans.

Other: The school has a sister campus in Jaco Beach and it is possible to switch between the two if there is availability.
