Academic Excellence
Whether you are learning Spanish as a missionary, businessperson, or for college credit, you will find our Spanish courses to be of the highest standards. For nearly 70 years, we have been known worldwide for the excellence of our teaching and our understanding of the individual academic needs of our students. Our well-rounded courses emphasize grammar, phonetics and practical conversation through reading, writing and speaking Spanish.
Spiritual Emphasis
Since our founding in 1942, we have come to understand that learning Spanish is more than just an academic experience. Through our regular chapel services, Spiritual Emphasis Week, local churches and community ministry opportunities, we are excited to be a part of each person’s spiritual journey and seek to create an environment where God is glorified in every aspect of life.
Family Friendly
Our teachers understand that making the transition to a new culture can be difficult for children and families. We work closely with parents to help each child transition into life in Costa Rica. Rayitos de Sol (our nursery and preschool program) is equipped to care for the youngest members of the Institute's community. Sojourn Academy (K-12) follows an American curriculum. Both are located on our school campus, providing an environment where families can learn together.
Melissa Wood (Class of '11)
These last 9 months at the Institute have truly been nothing but a joyous experience. I came to the Institute with absolutely no Spanish background and will be graduating in December with the ability to not only speak, but to write and read in this beautiful language, as well. The faculty and teachers as a whole have such vision and passion to see the students succeed and take personal interest in seeing this come to pass. The atmosphere is a blessing to come to each day...and I thank God for the opportunity to study at a school that strives for excellence and to be surrounded by such positive influence pointing me towards Christ in my learning.
