More of what people say about us...
I really enjoyed it and I know I learned a lot of Spanish. So much so that my English is suffering in this evaluation! The activities were wonderful and I loved the staff. Thank you!”
Phaela Peck,
Spanish Program, January 2006
“It worked out wonderfully and I learned so much, whether it be Spanish, the Costa Rican culture, or socio-economic systems of Latin America.”
Kelly Dowdall,
Spanish Program, January 2006
“All four of my professors were amazing. I learned so much in the mere four-weeks I attended ICADS. Having no previous Spanish background I am amazed with how much I now know.”
Jennifer Lamy,
Spanish Program, January 2006
“I really appreciated the atmosphere at ICADS and felt welcome in the comfortable ‘home’ type setting – not so much like a school/institution – more conducive to learning for me. Thank you! On a larger theme, I believe part of what you all are doing here is helping to save the world by changing it in powerful consistent ways!”
Sherrad Barton,

Emily Dorn-August 2006
“I was systematically impressed by the professionalism, the dedication and the open-minded, enthusiastic approach the staff and teachers had about just basically nice people who get involved with their students and really want to see them improve. Four hours of Spanish a day is a minimum. You are encouraged to do everything in Spanish, which gives real meaning to total immersion.
