While Halloween is widely celebrated in the United States, have you ever wondered what it's like to embrace this spooky tradition in a Latin country like Costa Rica? 🎃🌴
We organized a Halloween Celebration party with our Homestay Families and Costa Rican friends. Our students got to share some of their Halloween traditions with the Ticos mixed with the Latin dance element that cannot be missed at a Costa Rican party!
From all of us here at New Summit, we wish you a spooky and unforgettable Halloween, no matter where you are in the world. Stay safe, embrace the spirit of the season, and remember to enjoy the Pura Vida spirit of Costa Rica this October! 🎃🌴

One of our recent graduates from August 2023 tells us about his experience at NSA and shares advice for future students.
The Experience
- “I’d become a lot more patient with the people around me, myself, and a lot more comfortable with my life as it is in general."
- "I've had a favorite part since I got here! The way people live and their culture. People enjoy the free time that they have in a way I was not used to back home."
- "NSA was that little area for me to cultivate the things that I needed to work on."
What advice would you give to others?
- “It’s a good place for you to develop who you really are and not worry about all the external consequences of what other people want you to be.”
- "The community is really awesome to be around."
- “I would challenge everybody to be their best selves.”
