Proctor en Monteverde
Proctor en Monteverde is a program primarily for sophomores who are academically and socially mature and ready for a cultural immersion adventure in Central America. While living with host families organized through Proctor en Monteverde Program Director Kathia Corrales, students attend classes at the Monteverde Institute. Monteverde, Costa Rica is one of the most ecologically diverse areas in the world providing unparalleled learning opportunities ranging from planting trees for reforestation to constructing farm related engineering projects such as irrigation systems or bio-digesters for methane production.
Students continue their sophomore level science, humanities, math, and Spanish classes alongside native Costa Rican students at the Monteverde Institute, while engaging in arts and afternoon activities in the local community. Each student earns a full year's worth of Spanish credit during the ten weeks of this program.

~ Bella '22
It has always been very hard for me to step out of my comfort zone, and this experience has proven that as a bigger challenge than I would have expected. One thing I can say for certain is this program has taught me so much about the world, Spanish, Costa Rica, and myself. Since I started at Proctor, I have thought about how my shell was like concrete, and Proctor has helped me break out, one experience at a time. My term in Costa Rica didn’t just help me put a crack in my shell, but more of a hole!
