On the east side of San José we find a little town that resembles the foggy cities described in fairy tales. Coronado is well known
for “Las Nubes” (the clouds), a beautiful forest of mountains and farms that make an amazing location for hiking and mountain biking.
Like in any small town in Costa Rica, the church is the most impressive building of the area, an old construction that reminds the
towers of European castles it is of neo-gothic architecture, you can easily spot beautiful well marked pictures of saints in the windows.
The weather is cooler with more rain than San José, for this reason its vegetation is full and one of the most amazing greens seen
in the San José area. It is quite an adventure to go tour around the tree lined roads, dairy farms are all over the place
and you might even get a taste of the tasty Coronado cheese, very famous in Costa Rica. Once you arrive at the steep hills of the
Coronado Mountains, you will get an incredible view of all San José downtown, which takes the entire trip to a whole other level.
Up
in the clouds in the small settlement of Vásquez de Coronado, like in a spiritual ascension, one of the most attractive churches in
Costa Rica was built. Its construction started in 1862 on the ancient temple of the community. Looking for the best place, the initial
temple, inspired by the Renaissance era, was built in the central point of the valley, where the city is settled. The neighbors collaborated
with help and donations for the construction. On January 1, 1882 it was given Parish status, and it’s baptized under the name of San
Isidro Labrador.
It has great ecological attraction, beautiful views for the enjoyment of peace and tranquility. An area with
a great wealth of flora and fauna with over 100 species of plants (among them, ferns, and mosses). The most common mammal is the sloth.
It is easy to observe the majority of birds. There are 107 species of birds registered in the country.
San José Suburb Campus
The Spanish language classes at our San José Suburb Campus are designed to help the students learn and provide the maximum flexibility
for students at all levels. We offer a standard Spanish Language Program package: 4 hours of daily instruction (20 lessons per
week). Classes are from 8:30am to 10:00am and 10:20am to 12:30pm with a 20 minute break at 10:00am. Individual or
small group Spanish language classes and half day excursions to local areas of interest and natural beauty are all included
in our package.
Classes begin every Monday throughout the year except on Costa Rican National holidays and the last week of the
year. In the case of Monday holidays, classes will begin on the following Tuesday. The following Costa Rica Holidays are observed
by the school; January 1st, April 11th, May 1st, July 25th, August 15th, September 15th and December 25th. There are no refunds
for missed days because of holidays.
Classes run Monday through Friday. During periods of heavy enrollment, some
students will be placed in afternoon classes to maintain our small class size. In the event that we are unable to place you in a group
class because of differing skill levels, you shall automatically be provided three hours of individual private lessons instead. If
the following week a group class does become available, you will be switched back to the group classes.
Accommodations are a
homestay with a local Costa Rican family whom go through extensive screening and are accustomed to having Spanish students.
Our homestay provides each student with a private room and a shared bathroom. You will also receive 2 meals daily (breakfast
and dinner) and laundry on a weekly basis. We offer 2 homestay locations in Coronado and in Moravia. The Moravia location
is closer to downtown San José for those who wish to be closer to the city. We provide transportation to and from your homestay
to our campus.
