“Our goal at Pura Vida is to create a program to fit to your needs rather than making you fit into our program.” Unlike some large language schools, Pura Vida provides personalized attention to each student.

Our Teaching Methodology:
Our institute teaches with a method called “Neuro-language”. This method induces the student to learn the language using three perception channels: visual, auditory and kinetic. With this approach the student little by little is immersed in the language by successive approximations from particular to general.
While the possibilities for social interaction in a Spanish speaking society are almost unlimited, for some, the most fulfilling form of interaction is through volunteering.
We provide a wide variety of tours and excursions, which include surf lessons, horseback riding, fishing, rainforest exploration and many more to fit every interest and budget.
