Coined Costa Rica's Mission Statement: COINED is an International Organization that since 1971 has been offering Spanish courses and intercultural programs in Argentina, Chile, Guatemala and Spain to thousands of students from around the world. Through the cooperation and assistance of a number of former participants, COINED has evolved into a dynamic organization, constantly thriving for the highest standards in quality, and on the lookout for new Spanish courses to offer. COINED has designed and developed a wide range of Spanish courses based on cultural immersion experience in a cross-cultural context.
COINED Costa Rica developed the new concept known as Educational Tourism that takes the best of both sides to complement each other, without leaving aside social responsibility, so that students can learn Spanish and also a whole new way of life.
Year Founded: 1971
