	Our Costa Rica Campus is located in the Vara Blanca region of Costa Rica. The course is held at the campus of the Association for Development through Education (ADE). ADE is a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to working alongside and learning with communities in Costa Rica. They do this by providing sustainable solutions through educational initiatives committed to the sustainable development of marginalized communities using education and the resources of each community for their own growth, while preventing dependency.</p>
<p>
	ADE offers innovative and holistic educational initiatives that support long-term sustainable capacity building activities among individuals, local community organizations, government agencies, and the local faith community. Their current work is with local people in Alajuela providing English training classes, as well as creating a sustainable farm in the mountains of Vara Blanca.</p>
<p>
	The biodiversity found in Costa Rica is unparalleled. The ADE Educational Center is ideally located in the heart of a cloud rainforest along one of Costa Rica&rsquo;s most important and diverse river systems, the headwaters of the Sarapiqui River.<br />
