Study Abroad With IPSA!

As a school that offers language and culture, we are pleased to have available many activities for interested students in a variety of fields. One night at the disco will give you the urge to learn the proper salsa and merengue steps and we have weekly dance class for our students in the evenings.

Students dreaming of the chance to catch waves on a surfboard are also in luck, we offer a free surf class (once per student, per stay). Surfing is taught by professional local instructors who have participated in various national competitions.

If you do not wish to surf, we offer a yoga class (also once per student, per stay) instead. Experience the culture at our "Costa Rican evening" with a folcloric dancing and acitivites.

Costa Rica is an outdoor adventurer's dream with rivers, beaches, mountains, and tropical rainforest packed into a relatively small country of which over 27% is protected. Our home in Manuel Antonio, on the central Pacific Coast, is famed to be the perfect base from which to explore this rich biodiversity and many natural attractions.

Among others, we offer rafting on the Naranjo and Savegre Rivers, tours of Manuel Antonio National park, Kayaking and Boat tours of the Mangrove Estuary at Damas Island, Ocean Kayaking in the Pacific Ocean, horseback riding, canopy tours, etc.

Although not included in the tuition fees, these tours are available through the school at a discount.
