It also has several excellent museums, some great restaurants, colorful markets and a fine climate. "Mercado Central" is the best market for bargains; it has a range of goods including a variety of local artisan crafts, and some of the most inexpensive meals in town.
San Jose is the best place to meet the local people ("the ticos", as native Costa Ricans are called). They are famous for their generosity and good humor. San José has a very active nightlife, with many nightclubs and venues featuring traditional folk music and dance.
The school is housed in a beautiful and large private high school called New Hope. It offers spacious campus grounds (15 acres) and excellent facilities. Throughout the year, the school has about 1,200 students from kindergarten to high school and is recognized by the Costa Rican Education Ministry.

NO exceptions can be made; NO matter of their age.

"I want to write this email about my experience in Costa Rica last summer - and I'm enrolling again in Teenagers Abroad this year, too!
I decided to travel to Costa Rica as a innovative way to learn Spanish. The program encouraged beginners up to experts to join in the adventure and so I signed up.
Nervous about entering a country where English was NOT the first language created obvious frustrations and hard work, however, with the help from the loving staff and supportive peers from all over theUS I had a great, enriching experience and I am coming back this summer once again.
I learned SO much Spanish and it helped me be more than prepared for my high school Spanish classes this year.
For those students who have not taken Spanish before, yes it is hard work, but it pays off. The experience is so great and to spend it with new friends is amazing. I am so thankful for the experience and still chat online with my friends living in Ohio and New York!"
