Costa Rica

In addition to our excellent location, our facilities themselves are unmatched by any language school in the region. Unlike most schools, nearly all of our classrooms are purpose-built, providing optimum conditions for a language school.

Our classrooms have an abundance of natural light, are well-ventilated and comfortably furnished. An ample garden and terrrace, both with great views, create surroundings where you can relax both during classes and after, to chat with other students, read the newspaper or do homework. Since many schools operate from converted homes, you can’t always take such amenities for granted.

Our main building features spacious, comfortable classrooms with ample natural light and ventilation, offices, and a terrace restaurant. Our entrance contains the reception desk, administrative offices, a teacher’s planning area and a large lobby with a skylight. The second floor houses classrooms and a meeting room for teachers.

The top floor houses two additional classrooms and the director’s office. Students studying on the top level enjoy the views and can work off the calories they consume during coffee hour as they climb back up the stairs for the second half of class. We have put excellent insulation in the roof to keep the classrooms cool and comfortable.

Finally, on the lowest level, you will find the entrance to the terrace. It’s accessible from inside the building as well as from the street. It features a small restaurant for our students and is over a 100 square meters (1,000 sq. ft.). Therefore, we have ample space for gatherings before, between and after classes.

The terrace has become the heart of ILISA’s social and cultural life. After all, you can’t beat studying or chatting with other students while admiring the beautiful mountain view and enjoying a freshly brewed cup of Costa Rican java.

In addition to ILISA’s main building, there are two additional buildings housing a total of 14 bright, spacious and airy classrooms. Students also enjoy ILISA’s 5 outdoor classrooms located in our beautiful garden, that are suited for all types of weather.

All our facilities an abundance of natural light. The conference room can comfortably accommodate up to 25 people with semi-circular seating or 50 with auditorium-style seating.

Facilities will be used for ILISA’s cultural activities program, teacher training workshops and for special group programs which ILISA hosts throughout the year. In addition, our facilities are available to be used by other organizations.

Our combination of a comfortable study environment and a convenient location offers you the ideal conditions for productive yet enjoyable language study.
