| Our Institute In HEREDIA |
The small town of San Joaquín de Flores, a middle class suburb near the major cities of Heredia, Alajuela and San José, is the perfect location for students wishing to experience the true culture of Costa Rica yet wanting access to metropolitan areas. The city of Heredia is 10 minutes by bus, the city of Alajuela 15 minutes by bus and the capital San José 30 minutes by bus. |
Part of our academic plan is to offer a greater variety of services to our students. Our institute in Heredia has just recently been approved by the Cervantes Institute after an extensive examination of our operations and academic programs. |
We are proud of this achievement as the "Instituto Cervantes" is recognized as a leader in Europe and North America for the “diffusion of Spanish language and Spanish/Latin American cultures”.

OTHER OFFERED ACCOMMODATIONS |
a) General Information |
We strongly recommend the homestay option as a complement to language studies as it provides the opportunity to apply the material learned in class. Additionally, the homestay experience is a cultural conduit to better understanding and insight into the daily life of a typical family. |
Yet we recognize that living with a host family is not for everyone. The list of lodging options below are in the recommended accommodations. You may stay in a hotel or apartment the entire time or combine the homestay with other alternatives at each campus.
|
There is a limited number of these accommodations available, for this reason we advise that you do your reservations in advance. |
