From Spanish as a Second Language to coding and from yoga to Krav Maga, quite a few international academies are choosing to establish a presence in Costa Rica in order to give students a fun and relaxing location to augment their learning. An interesting new academy, which will open a franchise in our country later this year, combines painting with leisure; here is their press release:
