Program Overview

We are very pleased to announce that our Study Abroad for Teachers in San José, Costa Rica is open for applications.

This is a 21-day program based in San José, Costa Rica. Costa Rica is a small Central American country, home to vast biodiversity and a rich blend of immigrant cultures.

The program will take place in Summer II, 2023, from July 9 to 30. It is open to all undergraduate students in the College of Education. The students will live in apartments and attend classes at LEAD University. The program offers language and cultural immersion, hands on field experience at CEDES Don Bosco Bilingual School, and experiential learning opportunities. Students will also participate in field trips to some of the country’s must-see areas, such as DOKA Coffee Plantation, La Paz Waterfall Gardens, Irazú Volcano, and Manuel Antonio National Park. They will also take some Spanish classes to improve their proficiency. Students will receive three credits for the program.

Applicants will be required to attend two orientation meetings via Zoom to learn more about the program. During the orientation process, they will receive all the information they need regarding classes, scholarships, financial aid, etc. The application form can be saved and completed later.
