We are only 40 minutes from downtown San Jose providing a easy option for travel outside of the Central Valley area. The people, climate and views are incredible and not easily forgotten! We are in the Central Valley which offers excellent eco/adventure travel adventures and we are working with the local public and private schools to bring in students from other countries for Spanish language learning. As for the language school, it is considered the best in the area with professional and dedicated staff to meet your language learning needs. In the community, they would like to promote tourism and they see English language learning as a large plus for the people in the community so there are many opportunities for teaching in school and perhaps even for private lessons after school. Volunteering is always open and Grecia is working on alot of different programs where they will need expert assistance.
