"Thanks to an incredible academic program, the experience of living with a Costa Rican family, immersing myself in the Costa Rican culture...I am now very comfortable expressing myself in Spanish, as well as participating in a foreign culture. Intercultura has made this possible....the teachers introduced Spanish with contagious enthusiasm......I particularly enjoyed learning how to dance the Salsa and Merengue. One of the most beneficial opportunities was living with a wonderful Costa Rican family. We shared cultural traditions, jokes and meals as well as forming a strong friendship." --Lori Kashman, MED.

"I retired after 30 years in education in Canada: as a teacher, school principal, and superintendent responsible for several schools. From this perspective I was most impressed with Intercultura when I studied Spanish there recently. The school is
very well organized and run. The teachers of Spanish are knowledgeable, skillful, enthusiastic and caring. The classes are small and the students dedicated to learning. Moreover, the school "climate" is happy, warm, and supportive. Staff and students obviously enjoy working together as an educational family. Classes are comprised of students of diverse nationalities, cultures, and ages - a factor which enriches the overall educational experience. Combined with my positive homestay I would characterize my time as a student at Intercultura as a joy and I would rate the school and its services as outstanding."

''Intercultura provided me with an incredible and life changing experience. I was impressed with the quality of the teaching and the friendliness of the teachers. Everybody at Intercultura wants you to have a great time and an enriching experience and they go out of their way to ensure it. You will meet students from all over and feel you are travelling the world while being in Costa Rica. The family stay provides a great opportunity to get to know Costa Rican culture.

The school in Heredia is very conducive to learning. It has a beautiful interior courtyard which provides an ideal setting to meet other students while enjoying good coffee during breaks. As for the beach campus, it is absolutely amazing. Located in Samara, a small typical beach village, you will quickly feel at home and have countless opportunities to meet local new friends to practice your Spanish.

Don't miss the cooking and dancing classes organized by the school: another chance to meet new friends, learn about the local culture and practice your Spanish. Make sure you keep some extra days to visit the amazing natural sites this small country has to offer: national parks, beautiful beaches, coffee plantations and spectacular volcanoes. Go and see for yourself why Costa Rica is also called the Switzerland of Central America.''
