Welcome to Costa Rica - the ICADS experience

The school is wonderfully well organised and the staff's helpfulness and warmth knows no limits. The host family I lived with became my own family by letting me join in on their daily lives, but gave me all freedom and independence as well. During the morning we had Spanish classes in pairs, where I learned a lot. In the afternoon we had excursions, watched movies or took dance classes. The afternoon activities were fun, but I missed the developmental/historical/political education component a bit here. But then there was the library and the staff's commitment to providing you with whatever you needed, so I could adjust the programme a bit to my own needs.
When the programme ended I stayed in Costa Rica a bit longer and went to visit the school several times. It provided the warmest welcome and base to my CR stay you can imagine!
