Active participation of the students is achieved with a variety of games and interactive material which nurture a rich learning environment and promote fluency. Most importantly they love what they do, and share this enthusiasm with their students. The standard course length is four hours a day, five days a week. But, we also offer an Intensive Course which is six hours per day for those who want additional instruction or who have time constraints. Both courses follow the same syllabus.
Home stays are a very important part of our courses.
Our method of total immersion extends beyond the classroom and includes lodging with a friendly Costa Rican family. All of the families have been carefully selected and are monitored so that your home stay experience is to your complete satisfaction. We can even arrange tours and excursions to beautiful rain forests, beaches, and volcanoes throughout Costa Rica. Whether to receive University credit, fulfill professional education requirements or perfect conversation skills, IPEE is the school of choice. Plan on having a great time and making great friends.
