The best part was my family and the friends I made, followed by the beauty of the area, but the general atmosphere of the school was a close third! From the materials on your website your program seemed extremely well organized and when I asked questions via email the responses were fast, extremely helpful, and the people seemed very enthusiastic.My family was fantastic! Everything about them was fantastic. If I ever go back to Costa Rica I will have to go to Monteverde just to visit them.

"The school dopes an exception job of providing quality excursions at a reasonable cost. They make a wonderful effort to make sure that students are taken care of from their arrival at the airport to their departure. It was such a great language experience to do with a young child. The teachers are so comfortable working with children and know how to make it a really fun learning experience for them. Also, our homestay family was so gracious and helpful.The ""what we like and don't like"" section that you give on line about the sepcific programs is really helpful information."
