Our Teen Summer Spanish Program is two weeks of fun, educational excitement that helps students learn

Spanish fast. Our Spanish summer program allows our students to learn from highly trained, certified teachers and

be absorbed in the language and theculture of Costa Rica.

Features include:

* Intensive(强化的) daily Spanish classes

* Extracurricular classes in dance, cooking, music, and handiwork

* Outdoor activities including hiking, camping, rafting, and ziplining(高空滑索)

* Homestay with a local Costa Rican family

* Volunteer work in needy neighborhoods

Our Teaching Methods:

We are proud to use TPRS---Total Physical Response Storytelling---in our curriculum. This innovative method

uses strange and amusing stories to teach new vocabulary, increase fluency, and get students involved by giving

them the opportunity to alter the details themselves. Because of the silliness, creativity, and repetition involved,

TPRS allows students to learn easily and remember information effortlessly

Memorizing vocabulary and listening to lectures on grammar are slow, inefficient ways to learn a new

language. The best way to truly learn and commit new material to memory is through conversation. In our Spanish

classes, students can expect to speak up to 80% of each class. By speaking in the new language freely and

consistently, students can see progress faster because they are using the new grammar and vocabulary that they

have learned at the same time. This helps the brain remember the new words and grammar structures for future

use, making it much easier to progress.

To Rehan Staton, his childhood was a life of privilege — loving parents, a supportive big brother and a

pleasant, private school education. Everything changed when his mother left the country and his father lost his

job.

He had to sleep with a heavy jacket on when it was cold. He was always hungry. He said he couldn't

concentrate at school and would sleep during class. He went from straight. As to near the bottom of his class. A

teacher told him he needed special education, which made him hate school.

Staton spent his high school years as an excellent athlete, raining to become a professional boxer. He had won

a lot of martial arts competitions.But a tragedy struck him in his senior year when Staton suffered serious

tendonitis (肌腱炎), in both shoulders. He couldn’t lift either arm for months. His dream of becoming a

professional player failed. He struggled to apply to colleges but was refused byall of them.

Staton’s body slowly recovered from martial arts and he got a job as a rubbish collector. Many co-workers

couldn't help but ask him a simple question, “What are you doing here? You’re smart. You are too young to be

here. Go to college.” It was the first time someone outside his family had spoken highly of his intelligence. It was

the co-workers thatem enedhim to return to school.

Several co-workers put Staton in touch with a professor atBowieStateUniversity. The professor was impressed

with their conversation and persuaded the admissions board to change its former decision.

Going to college forced Staton’s older brother, Reggie, to drop out. They both knew someone had to be

working full time along with their dad. It was a decision Reggie made on his own.

After receiving a 4.0, Staton succeeded in becoming a student at theUniversityofMaryland. But he still had a long way to go to attend Harvard Law eventually...
