ABOUT EF
For over 55 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to one global mission: Opening the World Through Education. Our programs help students expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, grow more confident and independent, and understand new people, places, and cultures.
Costa Rica’s incredibly diverse ecology makes it a truly unique destination.
Venture to Tortuguero, a rural town teeming with wildlife and discover its 11 different habitats. In Arenal, discover a beautiful lake, a powerful waterfall, hot springs, and a looming volcano. And in Guanacaste, find an amazing collection of plants and animals against a backdrop of beaches and forested bluffs.
