At CPI Heredia, students experience Spanish through genuine connections with local people and full immersion in everyday Costa Rican life. Located in the residential town of San Joaquín de Flores, our school offers a welcoming environment where students practice Spanish naturally beyond the typical tourist circuit.

Our Essential Experiences extend learning far beyond the classroom through after-class activities ranging from cinema visits and creative art workshops to authentic culinary experiences and some of Costa Rica’s favorite pastimes, such as forest hikes and sports. Together, these experiences transform a stay in San Joaquín de Flores into a vibrant and truly memorable journey of language learning and cultural immersion.
