Programs
We offer Spanish, Surf, Yoga, Photography, and Video programs. The Programs are designed to exercise your mind, body, and spirit, and you can combine up to 3 programs at a time to create a custom Learning Vacation that is perfect for you! Our expert instructors love to share their Passion and Knowledge and they cater to all skill levels from beginners to advanced. Check out our different combinations and our surprisingly affordable programs that we offer in 1,2,3, and 4+ week durations.
Warm water year round, consistent surf conditions, and local breaks for all levels of surfers, Playa Jaco, Costa Rica is a perfect place to surf! The School of the World has been successfully teaching our students to surf for over 20 years!
Learn conversational Spanish you can immediately put to use with local native speakers. Class sizes are small and our experienced instructors keep learning fun and relaxed.
Our certified instructors blend their training in Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa, and Anusara yoga into the practice. Whether you are a beginner or have years of experience, our intention is for you to leave with the tools necessary to enrich and deepen your practice.
How It Works
Never been on a Learning Vacation? Learning something new is the ultimate souvenir; it outlasts the usual vacation sunburns, bug bites, and hangovers, and makes the experience stay with you forever. Here is how it works:Â Â Â
1) Choose Spanish, Surf, Yoga, Photography, Video, or combine 2 or 3 of our programs to create your custom Learning Vacation. All of our programs are offered in 1,2,3, and 4+ week duration. Check-in is on Sunday and check-out is on Saturday. Classes begin on Monday and are only offered Monday through Friday. See our program combinations below.
2) Decide if you want a Shared room with another student, if you would rather have your own space in a Private room, or if you want to treat yourself and stay in one of our Deluxe Private rooms. We also offer Homestays which means you live with a local family and are completely immersed in Costa Rican culture. We have options to fit most people’s needs and budgets. This variety is part of what makes our community so diverse and interesting. See our lodging options→
3) Choose your dates. All of our programs are offered in 1,2,3, and 4+ week durations. Check-in is on Sunday and check-out is on Saturday. We highly recommend staying as long as possible. We’re obviously biased, but the more time you spend practicing Spanish, Yoga, Photography, Video, or Surf, the better you will become 🙂 Our longer stay programs are our best value, too. Plan your trip here→
4) Book your flight! We recommend that you fly into Juan Santa Maria International airport located in San Jose, Costa Rica. Airport Code: SJO
