Spanish immersion, service learning, cultural trips, teaching abroad

One of the key elements that sets ILISA apart from other organizations across the Americas is our tailored approach. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all program. Instead, we offer customized training solutions for studying abroad, including Spanish immersion, service learning, cultural trips, teaching opportunities, and CELTA certification for aspiring English teachers. Our programs are designed to suit your unique needs, interests, schedule, and learning style.

With flexible options in Costa Rica, a wonderful team of attentive, highly qualified instructors, and top-notch facilities, we’re here to create a learning experience that’s both effective and enjoyable, no matter your goals.
