Two weeks Spanish Program for Social Workers in Costa Rica

During the last three years the “Academia Centroamericana de Español” (ACCE), located in Grecia, Costa Rica, has been offering a two week immersion Spanish program which is focused on the Social Work profession. The program has been created based on the daily communication necessities that Social Workers face in their work with Latin Americans and other Spanish speaking people.

The program has been designed to be coordinated with the National Association of Social Workers - California Chapter (NASW-CA). The main concept of the program is to offer Social Workers the opportunity to learn the necessary Spanish to be effective in their profession and, at the same time, to give them the opportunity to learn the culture and live with a local Costa Rican family. If the student does not want to stay with a host family, then ACCE offers the possibility to stay in one of our campus apartments, which are fully equipped and located two blocks away from the school.

If you would like to see more detailed information about the goals of the program, schedules, dates, prices and all that is included, please open the attached document named SW Program or visit our web page at www.acce.co.cr
