ILERI Language Institute - Spanish language school in Escazu, San Jose, Costa Rica |
1 - Language School Overview :
ILERI Language Institute was founded in Escazú, Costa Rica in 1992. In 1994 we opened a branch in Altos del Chase, Panama City. The school is run by professionals with degrees in both International Relations and Spanish as a Second Language. The owner is Ana Leonor Ramírez.
Formal classes consist of 4 hours of Spanish instruction daily, 5 days a week. From the beginning, students are taught exclusively in Spanish through the Total Immersion Method.
Associated with the formal Spanish Language programs offered by our Institutes are "homestays", during which students live with local families. After classes, students have the opportunity to practice Spanish daily with their families in and informal setting while simultaneously experiencing the culture more thoroughly.

Escazú offers an interesting mix of countryside beauty and city attractions. Surrounded by mountains, this typical Costa Rican "pueblo", of Spanish Colonial heritage, is only 15 minutes southwest of San José and 25 minutes from the airport.
