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
