Endless possibilities!

We partner with educational institutions to create customized syllabi and classes by providing academic content and logistical support. Also, we encourage original investigations by providing contacts in the local community and supporting ongoing social and natural science research projects at all academic levels.

Community connections, decades of experience, and the unique natural environment are the foundation for our collaboratively-designed, place-based, experiential academic programs. Meet your academic objectives while contributing to ongoing research and local community needs.

HOMESTAY PROGRAM

A large concern for the Founders of MVI was how the Institute might give back to the community. One answer was found in the Homestay family program, a very important component of studying abroad in Monteverde. Students may spend anywhere from two weeks to four months with their families, but regardless of the duration, it is always a meaningful experience.
