Academia Columbus makes a point of developping a rich social life during the week and at the weekends, and a series of activities (dance, local cuisine, history, cinema evenings or theatrical workshops) that will allow you to practise Spanish outside of the classroom, and to get to know the Costa Rican culture better while having an unforgettable time with your teachers and friends.
