We believe that to effectively learn and speak a foreign language, it is important to have an understanding of the culture where it is spoken. CRLA goes beyond the textbook by including cultural activities and educational trips to create a more well-rounded understanding of the Costa Rican culture and the Spanish language. CRLA is one of the few schools in Costa Rica completely owned and staffed by Costa Ricans, therefore ensuring a genuine cultural experience. Our immersion programs provide students with the opportunity to experience the language and culture of Costa Rica first-hand.

In a quiet, secure neighborhood, CRLA is close to places of interest for the students - across from the University of Costa Rica campus, close to the well-known San Pedro Mall and to a variety of restaurants, cinemas, banks, Internet cafes, and many stores. It is also a 20 minute walk from downtown San José and a short bus ride from our homestay families. CRLA has 28 comfortable classrooms, social areas, kitchen, a beautiful tropical garden and terrace, and a small café. Also available are a TV and a computer room where students can access the Internet for free. Homestays with carefully selected Costa Rican families.
