Learning a foreign language and experiencing first hand a new culture is an investment in your future, and choosing the right program is critical. Here is why you should seriously consider placing your future in our hands.
What we offer to you
CR Study Abroad offers the student or young professional the opportunity to benefit from both: academic classroom and experiential learning. Its original goal was to provide the students with a taste of what an experience such as that of Peace Corps. This includes living with a host family, adapting to and gaining respect for the Latin culture, while working as a volunteer to achieve a high level of professional development and increase personal knowledge.
While that goal remains, it is evident that a series of skills are acquired or sharpened: decision making, problem solving, personal interacting skills, flexibility and tolerance. The small class sizes and total staff commitment provides you un-paralleled personal attention.
Most of our programs are sponsored by major universities in the United States, yet an Independent Career Enhancement Program (ICEP) has been developed for students or professionals wanting a similar experience without the sponsorship of a university.
It is really about trust and about relationships
The trust that CR Study Abroad enjoys from these universities is why we are simply the best school in Costa Rica. These schools prefer personalized, custom designed programs that fit their philosophy and their curriculum We provide that! Take a look at the experience we bring to you:
We are the pros. Our long tern relationships in the US, our small faculty to student ratio (1:6), and our twenty plus years of experience will guarantee you have invested wisely.
And, it's not all just work either!
It's hard to learn if it's not fun! You can't learn about a people, culture or a language by
spending all your time in a
classroom. Our programs make sure you travel, have fun,
while learning just how special is the Latin culture. You will have plenty of free time to explore and to make new friendships that will last a lifetime.
Costa Rica is a gorgeous place to learn. Ecologically rich, it is known world wide for its incredible beaches, majestic mountains, and perhaps the friendliest people on earth. Take a tour! Click here for a slide show that showcases Costa Rica and what you can expect if your join us.
