Spanish School Facilities:

The Flamingo school is a brand new building consisting of 6-7 classrooms. Located on the marina, it is a five minute walk to the beaches of Flamingo and within walking distance to the small town of Flamingo. Homestays are a short ride away in Brasilito and Potrero, and a free shuttle is provided several times per day. Students have access to swimming pools both at the school and at a local gym right on the beach. Maximum capacity is 100-150 students.

What We Like:

  • Maximum 4 students in group
  • Private room & laundry service
  • Only 1 student per family
  • Possible to switch to the school's other campuses near San Jose or in the Monteverde cloud forest
  • One of the best beaches in Costa Rica
  • School organized activities
  • Academic credit available

What We Don't Like:

  • Usually a 20-30 minute shuttle ride to school
  • Limited public transportation available for local commutes
  • Basic living conditions (small room, plain food, etc.)

Participants:

Population is mainly university students and professionals from US and Canada, although there are some Europeans (mostly from Germany, UK, and the Netherlands).

Accreditation Memberships:

Approved for credit through several US institutions.

Other Program Info:

Additional campuses are available in Monteverde (in the mountains, by the Cloudforest Reserve), and in San Joaquín de Flores (a few minutes outside of Costa Rica's capital). Accommodations with homestays. You may sign up for the Monteverde or/and San Joaquín de Flores campus when registering. Onsite changes usually require 2 weeks notice, $50 charge, and are based on availability.

Past Participants Who Studied Spanish in Flamingo Beach

Lisa R. B.: The best part of the trip was meeting new people, learning a new culture, and the extensive activity program at the Flamingo Beach school. I had a great teacher.
