Why study in the big city when paradise is around the corner!
Study with us- have the opportunity to LEARN OUTSIDE of the classroom
in the beautiful surroundings of the Orosi Valley.


Our multiple accommodation options offer you more flexibility to fit your budget:
Unlike most schools we have our own hotels so we can offer accommodations in camping, youth hostel, Guest house or homestay families with the option to change accommodations each week of study*.  Having our own hotel also gives you the chance to meet more people not only those studying Spanish but travelers as well. Staying with a great local family offers you Spanish Language immersion and cultural integration first hand.


 

Our school and town atmosphere makes meeting new people extremely easy: be it foreigners or locals.  Many travelers find new travelling partners after studying together for a few weeks. That’s why we have many return students, many referrals and the 2 most common phrases here are “Orosi is my second home” and "I've learned more in 3 weeks then I have with years of classes in my home country"



Our intensive Spanish School Costa Rica language class packages are structured to fit you: You set the direction of the classes and move at your own pace! We can offer this, as our classes are normally private one on one classes, (the proof is in the pictures), except during high season when our class size ranges from 1 to 3 students maximum per class. As the Orosi Valley’s first Spanish School, with experience since 1996, we believe the most important tool not only for students and travelers, but for the community as well, is the ability to communicate.

 

Slow & Perfect or Fast & Compact
Grammar or Conversation
You choose… you set the pace!

 
Our small town will give you functional day to day experiences... where you'll really want to get out and practice


As Finding more then 3 students with the same levels and goals is very unlikely, we keep our classes small to ensure that learning Spanish is directed specifically by the student with the teacher towards the student’s specific needs. 
We have had great feedback about our classes, staff and Spanish language book since we humbly opened our doors in 1996 years ago and have many referrals and repeat customers.
 

Because of our teacher student ratio, we are really popular for ...
Language preparation for upcoming volunteer or missionary work projects
Brushing up your current knowledge
Prepping for exams
Troubled learners/Immersion tutoring
High School Spanish Immersion groups
Teacher continuous learning hours
Family learning vacations
Retiree's looking to move to Costa Rica
and of course the traveler wanting to get the Spanish Language
under control  before the start of the big trip!

 

 

 

 

COMPARISON
Beach or City Small town Orosi
Big class size usually 6 per class Classes normally private 75% of the year
Dangerous feeling holds you back from REAL practicing opportunities Safe small town allows real functional practice opportunities
Homestays usually located far away from School Building costing extra transport costs of bus fare No extra transport costs as families are located within 5-10 minute walk of School building
Distracting Party atmosphere Fun environment but not distracting
Higher cost packages 2nd lowest Spanish package in Costa Rica

 

What makes us unique?
Price: Other then having the second lowest prices in 127 Spanish Schools in Costa Rica, we are a very small school with normally 15-30 students per week giving you personalized attention.  
Levels: All levels and learning circumstances can be accommodated as our classes are maximum 3 students- normally 1 on 1 private classes 75% of the year and guaranteed 1 on 1 for 3rd week of study … !At no extra charge!
Location: We are not in the big city or at the beach so you'll not be distracted by your surroundings.  Our typical Costa Rican town is “tranquilo” and welcoming to foreigners which makes for many “Natural” opportunities to practice Spanish outside of the classroom, one of the most important tools to increase your learning absorption rate .  The simple tasks which can often seem so complicated to say in Spanish become standard flowing vocabulary with the help of the local community. Something that the big cities can't offer you!
Learning: With our flexibility of course programs from 4 days to as long as you like you can choose the option that works best for your personal goals and learning skills.  If you return for more Spanish classes within 1 month we will pro-rate your bill!


How do we keep our prices affordable?  

Although many other Spanish schools here in Costa Rica offer a Spanish package full of programmed extras we have chosen the alternative route.  We keep our prices low by not including all the extras.  If the student is interested in these extras then the cost is charged to the individual choosing the service instead of raising prices for everyone.  We do not increase prices for high season, we do not include a 30 to 35% markup for commissions to venders and our marketing, including this website, is kept homemade and simple to ensure great service for a great price.
Wi-Fi is free in our restaurant, cooking and dance classes and other activities and tours can be organized, many hiking tours can be done for free
and laundry services are available.
