Live & Learn in Panamá

Many participants study Spanish at the Spanish by the River Spanish school in Boquete, Panamá, a beautiful highland community surrounded by natural and cultural wonders. You'll live with a host family and enjoy a wide range of activities including traditional cooking classes, salsa dance lessons, hikes, and volunteer opportunities. Trip extensions and excursions to Caribbean islands, the Panama Canal, and indigenous communities will be possible as will additional weeks of study and volunteerism and alternate schools and locations, including the school's sister programs in Bocas del Toro, Panamá and Turrialba, Costa Rica.

This is independent travel study so you pick the dates; classes typically begin on Mondays. You'll study for 3 or 4 hours per day either morning or afternoon and can register for 1 to 4 weeks and receive 60 Clock Hours/PDUs or 6 quarter credits (equivalent of 4 semester credits) per week.
