Costa Rica Interns

Amerikanoestudions began as a small schoolhouse style enrichment academy delivered in English to a Spanish speaking community Esparza Costa Rica. Within its first year, 2011, Amerikanoestudios had organically grown into a cultural recovery based enrichment program that encouraged English language development while fostering a deep local identity informed by the ancestral narrative of the area.

Current Director: Mariel Yglesias

Mariel began her tenure as director of Amerikanoestudios in January 2014. Since that time she has created a successful alternative to the local high school curriculum.
