Teaching and Children Programs at the beach ** New Beach Campus
We finally made the next step; after working hard for several months we are ready with 18 new projects in different beach locations all around the country; from Guanacaste (Northem Zone) to the Caribbean; several schools and families opened their doors to Amistad; we are very proud of this because it means that we are doing a good job in other areas.

Key West, we’d searched the net and found a Spanish language school, Amistad Instutitue,
