About this trip

Check in for your Private Room is on Sunday.

Classes are Monday thru Friday.


Upon purchase of this package you will receive a placement test email that we use to determine your class time. 


Our programs are structured in 2 hour sessions with classes every Monday to Friday. Students can build their program according to their goals based on this structure and take up to two of the 2 hour sessions per day.


At NSI we use a communicative teaching methodology, where the main goal is the improvement of the student´s communication skills, encouraging spontaneous and creative use of the language, using real communicative situations and activities that teach Spanish in the way we really use it.

What is a day like at the school?

Depending on how many hours of instruction students participate in, a typical day will consist of Spanish language classes Monday-Friday between the hours of 8am-5pm.  Lunch break runs from 11:40-1pm and students often walk down the street to eat at the cafes/restaurants, go surfing or stay at the school and eat.  2-3 days per week the school also organizes activities like cooking classes, salsa classes, half day trips to nearby beaches, waterfalls, etc.  You can view the actives on our activity board in the common area on campus.

Lovely week learning Spanish half the day and enjoying Nosara the other half. I enjoyed my class and appreciated the small class size of three, and the conversational approach which invited us to go beyond rote repetition of phrases. Marcela was a good, friendly and responsive teacher who encouraged us to try communicating bigger ideas with what we'd learned. I liked the morning classes - starting my day with a sunrise at the beach then walking up to the school through the Bodhi Tree resort was lovely. Then having the second part of the day to meet my friends, have lunch and go around Nosara. If I'd come on my own, I think the homestay offering would have been a good way to extend my learning. There was a small issue with my class, and the Nosara Spanish Institute team were super responsive and quick to address it - which I appreciated. Overall a great fast immersion and I'd consider coming back.

Everyone at NSI was excellent! The teachers were very attentive and knowledgeable. My classmates were also wonderful people. I stayed in "student housing" run by NSI--the room was very comfortable and it was nice to be with fellow students.

The NSI program was a top notch experience. Broc runs a tight program with flexibility to adapt to individual student needs. I would recommend this program to anyone thinking of getting a better foundation in the Spanish language. I learned so much in the 3 weeks at 20 hours a week of class time. I highly recommend staying at least that long for a beginner. The professors were patient and kind and a lot of fun!🤩 the area was beautiful as well. October was rainy season but it was not bad at all and I got to witness the Arribata of sea turtles. That was super magical so I would attend at this time of year. Also, it’s not tourist season in October so it was not as crowded.

I Love Nosara Spanish Institute! My husband and I move to Nosara recently and we really wanted to learn Spanish and NSI has been amazing. They have the best teachers, the classes are very well structured and fun. Everyone there has been super helpful and really nice. My husband and I did private lessons and group lessons. Both are great, it just really depends on what you need. I highly recommend it.
