The staff at The Institute are amazing. We so enjoyed our time with John, Cintia and Alvaro! They made learning fun and accessible. Great job all around!

Teachers are engaging and patient with students no matter their level, and can effectively assist you in bettering your Spanish in no time. The school is great at building a wonderful community for students to fully engage and immerse themselves during their time in Nosara - teachers were even wonderful enough to spend their free time outside of class playing scrabble and hanging out at the beach, furthering our real-world language skills outside the classroom. And I would be remiss to not mention my wonderful homestay mom Adriana - she was the best! All-around wonderful immersive experience. Fantastic school, fantastic staff, and fantastic local community - overall fantastic program, cannot recommend enough!

We had a fantastic experience at the Nosara Spanish Institute. The school arranged a customized private lesson program for our whole family. The teachers we had were excellent. The school is in a beautiful space! Staff is great and truly dedicated to language education. a If you are looking for a, personalized learning experience in one of the best locations in Costa Rica, Nosara Spanish Institute is a wonderful choice. Highly recommend!

I loved my time at NSI! The staff & team were so helpful, friendly and flexible. I learned so much and I couldn’t believe how much Spanish I truly understood. I would recommend the program to anyone looking to learn Spanish while exploring one of the best surf towns in Costa Rica ~ Nosara! Gracias por todo!! 🙌🙏

I really enjoyed my two weeks of classes at Nosara Spanish Institute. My instructor was Alvaro and he made learning fun and interesting. The class was mostly conversation with some targeted explanations, as well as some fun activities like interviewing. This was perfect for me as I needed to polish up my rusty Spanish skills and practice. I also enjoyed a cooking class and a language exchange evening hosted by the Institute, as well as some yoga classes at the Bodhi Tree next door (instructor Julian teaches in “Spanglish”!) This was my second time taking classes at this school and I recommend it as a welcoming place and a great way to get to know the local culture as well as other students from around the world while your partner spends all his time surfing at the beach. 😄
