About this trip

This fun and engaging 1 week program includes 20-hours of  professional Spanish Instruction along with living with a local family in our Homestay Program. If you'd like to learn a lot of Spanish in a relatively short amount of time then this is an excellent option.  Students will be placed in Spanish classes according to their placement test and then be placed with a local family where you will have your own room and shared common areas.  


Families are located in the nearby villages in Nosara, Playa Garza and Esperanza. Host family students are given a private room as well as half board (daily breakfast and dinner) and laundry service is included in the price of the host family. Families are hand selected by the accommodation staff and are very accustomed to hosting students from around the world. Students should be prepared to live in simpler and more rustic homes than at home. If that doesn’t bother you, then you will be rewarded with a memorable experience and some new Tico friends. Please indicate any allergies or special needs.


Check in for your Homestay is on Sunday and check out is Sunday.

Classes are Monday thru Friday.

Cost: $250.00 per week


Class times will be from 8-1140am or 1-440pm depending on our level spread and amount of students for any given week.  While we cannot guarantee specific class times we always do our best to match student preferences. 


At NSI we use a communicative teaching methodology, where the main goal is the improvement of the students' communication skills, encouraging spontaneous and creative use of the language, using real communicative situations and activities that teach Spanish in the way we really use it.

I had an amazing experience at the Nosara Spanish Institute in Nosara, Costa Rica. The classes were small, super interactive, and focused on real conversation. I learned so much in such a short time. The teachers were warm, fun, and genuinely cared about our progress. What really made it special was the community. I met great people from around the world and built real friendships, both in and outside the classroom. Surfing, dinners, watching the sunset at the beach - the vibe was perfect. Highly recommended if you want to improve your Spanish in a relaxed but high-quality environment.

Excellent experience. The instructors, Alejandro and Alvaro, were patient and attentive, and the staff in general was very helpful with coordinating things outside of class (eg shuttles to and from the airport). Would definitely recommend it, and hope to return!

Amazing quality of the school and Spanish classes! Engaging and professional teachers who made the classes fun. I was positively surprised by how good and social the accommodation was. Made a great life and the kitchen is superb for cooking! One of the better Spanish learning experiences while also getting the sweet life on the Costa Rican west coast.
