militaire strijdkrachten af \u200b\u200bte schaffen en de vrijgekomen financi\u00eble middelen te investeren in onderwijs, gezondheidszorg en het verhogen van de levensstandaard van de Costa Ricaanse bevolking. Het is dus geen verrassing dat Costa Rica een van de best ontwikkelde landen in de regio is. Met een hogere levenskwaliteit, een betere infrastructuur en beter onderwijs dan in de meeste buurlanden.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bevolking:<\/strong> 5 miljoen<br \/><strong>Gebied:<\/strong> 51.000 km\u00b2<br \/><strong>Nationale parken:<\/strong> 28<br \/><strong>Vulkanen:<\/strong> meer dan 60 (6 actieve)<br \/><strong>Hoofdstad:<\/strong> San Jos\u00e9 (340.000 inwoners)<br \/><strong>Valuta:<\/strong> Costa Ricaanse col\u00f3n<br \/><strong>Landcode:<\/strong> +506<\/p>\n<h3>Thuis in de natuur<\/h3>\n<p>De natuurlijke diversiteit in Costa Rica is ongelooflijk mooi voor zo\u2019n klein land. En waar je ook bent: alles ligt op steenworp afstand. De diepgroene regenwouden herbergen uniek wild, actieve vulkanen verlichten de nachtelijke hemel en ongelooflijke stranden omranden het land langs de kusten van de Stille Oceaan \u00e9n de Caribische kust. En door het gematigde klimaat kun je hier het hele jaar lang van genieten. Er zijn werkelijk talloze natuurwonderen te ontdekken in dit tropische paradijs.<\/p>\n<h2>Schoolleven in Costa Rica<\/h2>\n<p>High school in Costa Rica duurt vijf tot zes jaar, afhankelijk van het studieprogramma dat je kiest. De eerste drie jaar zijn gewijd aan algemeen onderwijs en de resterende twee tot drie jaar aan gespecialiseerd onderwijs in de door jou gekozen richting. Je hebt dus volop mogelijkheden om zelf het verloop van je middelbare school te bepalen.<\/p>\n<h3>Een persoonlijkere schoolervaring<\/h3>\n<p>De meeste scholen in Costa Rica zijn waarschijnlijk kleiner dan waar je thuis aan gewend bent. De omgang met je klasgenoten is dus essentieel in het maken van nieuwe vrienden. Costa Ricaanse scholieren zijn doorgaans zeer warm en vriendelijk en ge\u00efnteresseerd in jou en je cultuur. Maar het blijft toch belangrijk dat je het initiatief neemt en moeite doet om je klasgenoten aan te spreken en probeert vrienden te maken. Op deze manier integreer je in de gemeenschap, leer je meer over de plaatselijke cultuur en verbeter je echt je Spaans.<\/p>\n<p>Op sommige vlakken kunnen Costa Ricaanse scholen misschien wat traditioneel aanvoelen vergeleken met je school thuis. Voor alle scholen moet je een schooluniform dragen en de onderwijsmethodes volgen de richtlijnen wellicht meer dan je gewend bent. Maar denk eraan dat dit allemaal deel uitmaakt van de ervaring. Door jezelf bloot te stellen aan verschillende onderwijsmethodes zal je groeien als persoon en leer je nieuwe en interessante zaken.<\/p>\n<h2>Gastgezinnen in Costa Rica<\/h2>\n<p>Costa Rica is zeer open tegenover buitenlanders. Families die internationale scholieren in hun huis verwelkomen doen dit omdat ze een echte culturele uitwisseling willen ervaren. Ze kijken ernaar uit meer te weten te komen over jouw cultuur en hun eigen huis te verrijken met jouw aanwezigheid. Onze gastgezinnen zetten zich actief in om je de beste ervaring te bieden. Zorg er dus voor dat je hetzelfde doet en zoveel mogelijk van jezelf teruggeeft. Dat zal de ervaring voor iedereen ten goede komen!<\/p>\n<p>Familietijd is zeer belangrijk in Costa Rica. Zorg er dus voor dat je probeert te integreren en deelneemt aan familieactiviteiten. Help ook mee in het huishouden en zorg ervoor dat je kamer netjes is. Probeer open te communiceren met je gastgezin, breng tijd met ze door en leer zoveel je kunt van hen. Bovendien bieden ze een geweldig kijkje in de Costa Ricaanse manier van leven en is het een fijne mogelijkheid om je Spaans te oefenen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div

klein land, maar het heeft heel veel te bieden op het gebied van bezienswaardigheden en activiteiten. Scholen hebben vaak sportprogramma\u2019s, zoals voetbal, basketbal of zwemmen, en er zijn veel andere dingen die je zelf kunt doen om de vele charmes van het land te ontdekken. Geniet van de prachtige tropische landschappen tijdens een vulkaanwandeling, leer surfen aan spectaculaire stranden of maak van dichtbij kennis met de unieke dieren in het wild.<\/p>\n<p>Niet alle scholen bieden activiteiten na school aan, maar je kunt je altijd aansluiten bij sportclubs in je plaatselijke gemeenschap. De meest voorkomende sporten voor tieners zijn voetbal, basketbal, zwemmen en volleybal. Maar grijp ook de kans aan iets unieks te proberen, zoals surfen of zip-linen.<\/p>\n<h3>Verder verkennen<\/h3>\n<p>Er worden elk jaar verschillende extra tripjes georganiseerd voor onze uitwisselingsscholieren in Costa Rica. Je krijgt de kans om nationale parken te bezoeken, vulkanen te beklimmen en te genieten van prachtige stranden.
