Intercultura Costa Rica Spanish Language School offers an unparalleled opportunity for individuals to immerse themselves in the Spanish language and Costa Rican culture. Renowned for its dynamic and enriching programs, Intercultura provides a multifaceted approach to learning Spanish that goes beyond traditional classroom settings. At Intercultura Costa Rica, learning Spanish is not just about memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules; it is about embracing a holistic approach that emphasizes conversation, cultural immersion, and community connection. The school's year-round Spanish immersion programs are designed to cater to learners of all levels, from beginners to advanced speakers, ensuring that each student receives personalized attention and support on their language-learning journey.

One of the unique features of Intercultura Costa Rica is its two school locations, each offering a contrasting yet equally enriching experience, which students can combine to fully experience the different aspects of Costa Rican culture. The first location, nestled in the picturesque Pacific beach town of Playa Sámara, provides a laid-back and relaxed environment ideal for those seeking a coastal escape while learning Spanish. With pristine beaches right outside the classroom, students enjoy a perfect balance of study and leisure, soaking up the sun and surf between classes. The second location, situated in the vibrant city of Heredia, offers a bustling urban atmosphere close to colonial cultural landmarks, museums, and local markets, where students explore the rich history and traditions of Costa Rica while honing their language skills in an immersive environment.

Both locations boast experienced and passionate instructors dedicated to providing engaging and challenging classes that foster fluency and confidence in Spanish. Whether participating in interactive group discussions, cultural excursions, or volunteer opportunities within the community, students are encouraged to actively engage with the language and culture in meaningful ways. We encourage students to stay with our local homestay families to further immerse themselves in Costa Rican culture, or alternately at our student residence apartments. Whether you're looking to improve your language skills, expand your cultural horizons, or simply embark on an unforgettable adventure, Intercultura Costa Rica welcomes you to join its diverse and vibrant community of learners.
