Classes will be held at a purpose-built, centrally located language and culture institute in beautiful San Joaquín de Flores. Taught by local instructors, the classes are exclusively developed for ASPIRE students. Classes will be small in size, with no more than 10-15 students per class. A placement exam will be administered upon arrival to determine Spanish level. All students will take both the Spanish language course (conducted in Spanish) and the Costa Rican History and Culture class (conducted in English). Classes will involve group participation and interaction.
