CPI makes every effort to offer its students options that
meet their individual needs and interests. In San Joaquín de Flores,
where our Heredia campus is located, students learn Spanish in a truly
immersive environment - a typical Costa Rican town, relatively free of
tourists. A safe and peaceful community, San Joaquín is just a
30-minute drive from San José, allowing students easy access to
the activities and nightlife of Costa Rica's capital city.
We opened our Monteverde campus in 1996, largely in response
to our students' interest in learning Spanish in the Costa Rican rainforest.
Monteverde is a cherished part of Costa Rica, becoming world-famous for
its incredible biodiversity and successful efforts in environmental conservation
and sustainable development. After seven years of operation, CPI Monteverde
has become an integral part of this unique community, working with local
organizations to place CPI students in volunteer positions throughout
the region.
In 2000, CPI opened its third campus, giving students
the opportunity to learn Spanish in Flamingo Beach, a beautiful Pacific
coastal town in the province of Guanacaste. CPI Flamingo allows students
to combine intensive Spanish instruction with a beach vacation, with
plenty of opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing,
fishing, and sailing in one of Costa Rica's most beautiful beach communities.
Today, CPI is the only Spanish immersion school in Costa
Rica with campuses in three diverse regions of the country.
