CENTRO DE IDIOMAS INTERCULTURA S.A.
HEREDIA - COSTA RICA

Intercultura Language School offers a series of 18 courses designed by curriculum specialists, using interactive small groups in an environment of total immersion in Latin American culture. Classes are 4 hours per day, Monday to Friday. Our professors are university trained and credentialed to teach Spanish as a second language. We give all teachers further instruction on teaching in the context of total cultural immersion. Academic credit through several accredited US university programs is available (e.g.. Brookhaven, Austin College, and Duke University). In addition, we offer homestays with local families and cultural classes ( dancing, cooking, Jewelry making, yoga, etc.) We offer students a city campus in the colonial town of Heredia and a Beach Campus in a beautiful costal town, Playa Sámara.

Location

Heredia

Intercultura is located in the colonial city of Heredia, approximately 20 minutes by bus from the capital city of San José. Known as the 'City of Flowers,' (reputedly more for its beautiful women than for its vegetation!), Heredia and its surrounding areas provide all the conveniences of a medium-sized city in an environment which has escaped, to a large extent, the normal urban problems affecting the capital. It is home to the National University, and an important cultural center for Costa Rica. Furthermore, much of Heredia has managed to retain a typical Latin American 'pueblo' feel despite increasing modernization. The colonial church and it's plaza are still a favorite meeting place for Heredia's inhabitants, old and young.
