Stay with aHost Family | Homestay

We strongly recommend students stay with a host family as a complement to language studies. By living with a Costa Rican family, students have the opportunity to apply the language skills learned in the classroom as well as gain first-hand insight into the culture and daily rhythms of life in Costa Rica.

Host families are patient and extend themselves to help our students learn Spanish. Family units are diverse - young couples without children, couples with children (of all age groups), and older couples with grown children who are no longer at home.

We place only one student in each family. Couples and families may request the same homestay, if they wish. The homestay family provides students with a private room, breakfast & dinner daily, and laundry service. The food served is the same as eaten by the family – typical Costa Rican fare. If a student has a special dietary requirement (for example vegetarian or low fat meals), CPI and the family work together to meet these needs; we always do our best to accommodate student wishes concerning homestay requests.

PRICE: $245 per week.
