Learn Spanish in Playa Dominical

Playa Dominical is located on Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast just 20 miles south of Manuel Antonio National Park and is considered to be one of Costa Rica's best surfing beaches. This small coastal community, with approximately 400 year round inhabitants, boasts numerous small hotels, restaurants and evening spots.

The area surrounding Dominical is nothing less than spectacular, flanked to the east by tall, verdant mountains and to its north and south by beautiful coves and beaches. Unlike many of Costa Rica's coastal communities Dominical is not highly developed, thus it has maintained a pristine atmosphere, with a wealth of animal life and untouched rain forests.

On the school’s campus there are four 1-story cabinas. Each cabina has a porch out front and has a private bathroom. Recently, all rooms were painted with murals, depicting a tropical setting. Fans, hot water showers, and comfortable beds are also standard.

Closer to the river is the main schoolhouse, a two-story building with wood borders and a great deal of character. The inside is all tropical woods and very well appointed, as well as unique. There are tables and chairs beside the river to do homework or rest and relax in the shade. Classes are held on the second floor or in outdoor "ranchitos", overlooking the river which runs along the property. An open-aired, netted classroom provides a perfect environment for your Spanish classes. The first floor of the school is ideal for conversation, study or just relaxing.

Up on the road is the main office for the school. The building is white and green with wood panelling, which is used as the computer room for the students’ use as well as for the school’s staff. There is also a cabina in the front building that are for couples or families.

The setting of the campus is very tropical, with tall shady trees that keep the area cool. It is only a few minutes walk down to three internet cafes, four mini-supermarkets, 10 bar/restaurants, a bakery, and the beach.

Learn Spanish in Tamarindo

Tamarindo Beach is located in the North West of Costa Rica, in the provence of Guanacaste. The village has around 6000 people which ensures you can find everything for a comfortable stay.

A short distance from Tamarindo beach you will find natural park reserves where you can find an incredible variety of flora and fauna. Between October and March, you may find yourself on a turtle spotitng expedition at Playa Grande where large leatherback turtles famously gather every year to lay their eggs.

The surf is one of the best on the Pacific Coast and the climate is probably the most attractive in Costa Rica since rainfall is the lowest here (in case you wonder where the name rain forest comes from...) during the year.

The dry season runs here from November till May and the rainy season from May till the end of November but with a typical sunny break from the middle of July until late August (this dry spell is called "el veranillo de San Juan" or "the little Summer of San Juan").

Our school in Tamarindo is set in the rainforest of Tamarindo, just minutes away from the beach and the city. The school has a central building with class rooms around which a number of open air "ranchos" are set where classes are held when the weather allows (which is often!).There is plenty of space to organise our activities here and you will find the school one of the most comfortable settings to help you enjoy your Spanish course in Tamarindo.
