The school in Tamarindo offers a variety of cultural activities,
afternoon trips, and weekend excursions. Each week, depending
on student interest and what is happening in the surrounding
area, the school makes sure that you have a chance to discover
the best the Costa Rica has to offer. Students are welcome to
participate in activities such as dance classes (Merengue, Salsa,
Marcado, & Cumbia), lectures, cooking classes, and "Intercambios"
(exchanges) with local "Ticos" (Costa Ricans) who
are learning English. There are also trips to local points of
interest in which all students are encouraged to participate.
Surfing
Tamarindo is an ideal location for those interested
in surfing. You can hit the waves at a nearby beach
by joining our special Spanish
& Surf course or by renting a surfboard
at one of the local shops that offer special rates
to our students.
River

Costa Rica is known as one of the best places in
the world to go white water river rafting. Home

plunge through incredibly beautiful tropical rainforests,
the country has a river for rafters of all levels.
The school will help you arrange one of these incredible
trips to some of the best rivers in and around Playa
Tamarindo.
SCUBA

place to dive, or to learn how to dive. Certification
courses of all levels are available, including Open
