Since 1989, more than 15,000 students from all over the world have come to Costa Rica to study Spanish at CRLA. At our school believe that to effectively learn and speak a foreign language, it is important to have an understanding of the culture where the language is spoken.
Our language school goes beyond the textbook by including cultural activities and educational field trips to create a more well-rounded, and hands-on approach to understanding the Costa Rican culture and in turn the Spanish language. CRLA is one of the few schools in Costa Rica completely owned and staffed by Costa Ricans, thus ensuring a genuine cultural experience.
Costa Rican Language Academy (CRLA) is a private chool specializing in Spanish language instruction.
