“Hola, my name is Isabel.

My family and I invite you to learn Spanish with us and to have a cultural experience…that of a Tico!

This is not a conventional school, this is a house: Isabel’s House, where we are not just the teachers, we are the hosts.

The program at Isabel´s House gives you the opportunity to learn another language through a cultural experience that allows the student learn about the customs, the people and the incredible places of our country.

We have very good families to host our students, in a homestay environment, and to help us carry out a wide variety activities and cultural workshops.

I love teaching Spanish and showcasing my culture and people, if that is the type of experience you want, then with great pleasure, we welcome you." 

We are convinced that in order to properly study a language is important to know the identity, customs and the environment of the people, because it allows the development of better communication skills and generates respect for different cultures.

For this reason, our program content integrates learning the Spanish language with the Costa Rican (Tico) Culture.

We are a family that transforms our home in a small Spanish school for students who are interested in learning our language and getting to know our culture. We adapt the program and the study plan to the needs and desires of the student.

Our program also involves host families of our small town, who are upstanding, kind and hospitable.

The program of Isabel’s House also incorporates people who play important roles in the community such as artisans, peasants, housewives, who share their talents with students so that they have a real cultural experience.
