Intercultura Spanish Language School: Learn Spanish in Costa Rica

Intercultura offers Spanish courses year-round and also offers academic credit through US colleges and universities. Classes are small and dynamic with a maximum of 6 students per class.

Everyday, there are cultural activities after classes that include Latin dance classes, cooking classes, films, lectures, Spanish tutorials, special meet-ups (intercambios) with local Costa Ricans learning English and more! We also have a campus on the beach in Playa Samara, located on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Learn the language, live the culture!
