Tours

Grecia is surrounded by a diversity of touristic destinations including beautiful waterfalls, tropical forests, a volcano with one of the largest craters in the world, the city of Sarchi (a center for Costa Rican handicrafts, including the famous painted carts). Also, many students enjoy trips to the Pacific beaches, the hot springs of the Arenal Volcano and the beautiful countryside.  We encourage our students to experience as much of our country as is possible during their stay.  We can provide specific information and suggestions upon request.

Homestay
    During their stay in Grecia, students live with families from the congregation.  While living with their families, students will gain first-hand experience in both our culture and our language.

    Our homestay families are local Christians who enjoy sharing with people from other cultures and have a natural ability to integrate the student into the family.  Our goal is that students feel like they are a part of the family.  

    The homestay includes weekly lodging in a private room, preakfast and dinner every day and weekly laundry service.  The students have coffee, natural juices and snacks while attending classes at the school.
