It is a very small and cozy school. For this reason, the teachers are very close to the students and you can learn in a homey environment. There are activities on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I really enjoyed them every week!
Have a great time in Costa Rica with a group of teachers full of personality!!!

The school is very well organised and the teachers are very experienced. There are plenty of classrooms. The classes are actually put together according to level and the teacher changes every week. I liked that, because you always learn new teaching methods.
I can't say anything about the accommodation at the school, as I stayed with a family.
