Who are our students?

Spanish School Pura Vida is characterized  by a colorful, international audience. Our students are between 4 and 80 years old and come to us for very different motivations. The unifying element is the joy of learning together!

Young Travellers

Many of our clients are highschool graduates or college freshmen who are attracted by the mix of a young atmosphere and the perfect place for adventure. Puerto Viejo is the ideal starting point for a trip through Latin America to learn Spanish in a Caribbean setting and take advantage of the extensive recreational opportunities.

A Unique Learning Experience

Pura vida language school was very welcoming. There was only one other person and myself in my class. This gave the opportunity to have confidence to practice speaking as well as focused learning. My favourite element of the course was going into the centre of Puerto Viejo to the café, shops and beach to practice what we have learnt. On the last day, we cooked together local food such as patacones, guacamole and frijoles. I recommend this school! Pura vida!
