Instituto Estelar’s Bilingual Dogs



This afternoon mid-week excursion to Poza los Coyotes and Poza la Angostura is a new favorite for our Spanish students! In fact, we recently made a few changes to our weekly schedules. Check out the summary of activities here!
What’s new in Costa Rica?
I am very happy to report that the vaccine roll out for COVID-19 has accelerated significantly, and now kids as young as 12 can get it. Here at Instituto Estelar, our staff got the first dose, and we look forward to getting the second one in a few weeks. We are continuing to run our Spanish immersion program, placing students in homestays, and exploring Guanacaste together. We are all still wearing masks and washing our hands frequently, but life in Liberia is almost back to normal.
I am thrilled that we are finally opening some in-house English classes in a few weeks! Our English program had as many as 550 students in the past, and we have maintained 200 in online classes for 16 months. Everywhere I go in town, people tell me how excited they are that we are finally opening our English classrooms again.
If you’re not quite ready to make the journey to Costa Rica, remember that our online Spanish private classes are the next best thing. Contact Dayana, our awesome Spanish coordinator, to get started: students@estelarcr.com.
