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.
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.
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.

The best thing about ILE is the amazing quality of teaching. The teachers have decades of experience and know how to target specific language issues that students have. They make the classroom experience a great one, and make sure to include lots of cultural lessons into the language practice. Beyond that, there's no substitute for an immersion experience, so I'd recommend ILE to anyone.
