Who are our students?
Spanish School Pura Vida is characterized by a colorful, international audience. Our students are between 4 and 80 years old and come to us for very different motivations. The unifying element is the joy of learning together!
Young Travellers
Many of our clients are highschool graduates or college freshmen who are attracted by the mix of a young atmosphere and the perfect place for adventure. Puerto Viejo is the ideal starting point for a trip through Latin America to learn Spanish in a Caribbean setting and take advantage of the extensive recreational opportunities.
Another focus of our students are professionals who want to step out of their usual routine and start something new, e.g. people on sabbatical, world travelers, digital nomads, employees inbetween two jobs, peolple who are looking for a new vocation, wan to emigrate or simply change their lives.
Puerto Viejo has a large community of foreigners who have emigrated here. Many of them come without any knowledge of Spanish, wich they acquire at our school.
What could be better than combining professional training with travelling? Our Spanish courses are recognized as "Bildungsurlaub" in many German states. Take advantage of this unique opportunity! We will gladly inform you about the details.
You are never too old to learn a new language! Our students include retirees who are young at heart and keep mentally and physically fit during their language vacation at Pura Vida. With their life experience, they are often a great enrichment to the courses.
Looking for quality time with your family? Learning Spanish is perfect for that! Our courses for families are not only educational and fun but they are great for those parents looking for activities in which they can create beautiful memories with their kids.
Pura vida language school was very welcoming. There was only one other person and myself in my class. This gave the opportunity to have confidence to practice speaking as well as focused learning. My favourite element of the course was going into the centre of Puerto Viejo to the café, shops and beach to practice what we have learnt. On the last day, we cooked together local food such as patacones, guacamole and frijoles. I recommend this school! Pura vida!
