School of the World - Playa Jaco, Costa Rica
Celebrating Our Eleventh Year (1997-2008)
The School of the World is a traveler's education school located on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, in the town of Playa Jaco (map). The programs offered at the school are some of the most original and innovative options available for travelers today, offering more learning vacation options than any other language school or surf camp in Costa Rica. Costa Rica's beautiful countryside, friendly native Spanish speaking people, and stunning beaches form the perfect backdrop for studying Spanish, surfing, yoga, and digital photography. |
Learning Vacations in Costa Rica
Since 1997 the School of the World has been setting new standards for creative study abroad. There is nowhere else that you can combine learning Spanish, surfing, yoga, and digital photography. So join us and let our knowledgeable and friendly staff guide you on the adventure of a lifetime.
Study Spanish in Costa Rica
Founded in 1997, the School of the World began as one of the first options for studying Spanish near the beach in Costa Rica (most of the language schools are located in or around the capital city which is in the center of the country). College credit soon became available for the unique program and the school continued to grow rapidly. The school's Spanish courses incorporate international Spanish teaching guidelines with Costa Rica's local variations of the language. While the program covers all aspects of Spanish, teachers place a heavy influence on developing verbal skills. Studying in a Spanish speaking country allows students to immediately practice what they have learned with native Spanish-speaking people.
Surfing in Costa Rica
New: Surf programs now start every week! We have programs for all levels including guide and transportaion for advanced surfers. Please email us for details.
Surfboards are more common than cell phones in this small town, so it was only a matter of time before we began to teach surfing to our students. The surf program was born approximately one year after the school was established. Due to the fact that the Playa Jaco area is well known to have great waves and warm water year-round, it is only natural that so many people come here to learn how to surf. Catering to both first-time and advanced surfers the School of the World quickly became one of the premier surf schools in Costa Rica.
Digital Photography in Costa Rica
Combining the aspects of a Spanish language school and a surf camp was only the beginning. After the success of the Spanish and Surfing programs a new department was created for Digital Photography. The lush tropical surroundings of Costa Rica form the perfect classroom for expanding your photography skills. The digital photography revolution has made it easier for people to experiment and learn how to improve their photography skills, without the cost or waiting time of film.
Yoga in Costa Rica
The newest program of the School of the World has been added due to the natural settings of Costa Rica and feedback from our students. Yoga in Costa Rica fits perfectly with the surf culture and vibe that the country is known for. Now you can combine learning Spanish, surfing, and digital photography along with yoga.
