In addition, next year we will be launching a new program in Costa Rica during the month of June.  This is also a four week Spanish language program with excursions, cultural immersion and volunteering in the town of Heredia, outside the capital San José.

In this program too, students earn six credits of language at the elementary, intermediate or advanced level at the Universidad La Latina. Sol Education Abroad, the organization facilitating this program for us, has scheduled an exciting program of excursions and extra -curricular activities: Volcanos, coffee plantations, water rafting and volunteering are among the opportunities we will enjoy.
