Student Testimonials

- "Hi there, Since I had such a wonderful experience at School of the World in November, I have decided to come back to Costa Rica. I should be in around the first week of February, and I was wondering if it would be alright if I stopped by to say hello, and thank you.  I am so motivated to not only speak spanish, but also to explore a new life. During my 4wk stay at the school, I have never felt better about myself, and I can't wait to get back into that life."  Speak soon, -nadya

 

-"Thank you ALL for another great vacation of Surfing. The entire staff made me feel so relaxed and welcome. It is exactly what I need during vacation time. The surfing instructors were very friendly. Each of them had different tips that combined were very helpful to my surfing. Hope to see you all next year." Pura Vida, Ro

 

-"To the entire staff at School of the World, I just wanted to extend my thanks and gratitude for all of your hospitality during my recent two week stay with you. The entire trip from the first day to last was amazing. Everything from the planned events like the kayaking and hiking trips, to sunset surfing, even to the arrangement of our schedules was perfect. Im sitting here freezing in New York wondering why I ever left. Thanks again for an amazing experience. Everyone appreciates all of your hard work and efforts to make our stay memorable." Sincerely, Tracy McCarthy
