CCI offers excellent language school programs for adults in 2 ideal locations in Costa Rica: Manuel Antonio and San Jose.

Each program includes 20 hours of class per week, room and board with host families and a variety of activities and excursions to help you make the most of your Costa Rican adventure. For both locations classes start every Monday throughout the year, regardless of language level. Books and materials are included in the program.

San Jose, Costa Rica
Nestled among lush green hills, the capital of Costa Rica offers exciting attractions. Enjoy the rich history offered by the Museums of Jade and Gold or the Teatro Nacional. Despite the city’s sophistication you will find the atmosphere very relaxed, and the local “ticos” (Costa Ricans) to be friendly and welcoming hosts.

Within just a few hours you can hike in cloud forests, go white water rafting, or climb a volcano.

School and Location

The school is located in the safe, quiet suburb of Zapote, just a ten minute bus ride from downtown San Jose. The clean, modern facilities include 17 classrooms, a computer room, and spacious common areas perfect for socializing with classmates. Class size is limited to 8 participants.

Accommodation and Meals

Students will enjoy their stay with carefully screened host families located near the school. Our host families are warm and welcoming and are eager to share their culture and their home! Two meals daily are provided, and each participant will either have their own room or share with another student.
