Why Choose API in San Jose
Within the supportive environment of the API programs, API participants are encouraged to explore their host communities and become increasingly independent and confident in their own abilities. We strive to make international educational experiences accessible to as many participants as possible, and, as such, work to provide multiple program components at a low program cost.

“API helped make the most of my study abroad experience in Costa Rica and I can honestly say that my entire experience would not have been anywhere near as exciting without API.”
