LOCATION:

Set in a stunning lush tropical valley Casa Grande Mountain Retreat is an oasis of peace and tranquility. The former coffee plantation, now exquisitely landscaped, has 20 rooms scattered up the mountainside, each with private bath, balcony, and hammock. A fresh-water swimming pool is cradled beneath a green mountain vista. This will be a pefect setting for our work together as teachers.

Named "Green Inn of the Year" four times by the Puerto Rico Hotel & Tourism Association.
Read what others have to say:

“Serenity has arrived. Materializing like a leafy apparition out of Puerto Rico’s gourgeous karst country, the Casa Grande ought to be on the prescription list of all North American doctors as an antidote for stress and rat-race burnout. Nestled in its own steep-sided valley and run efficiently by an ex-New York lawyer, the Casa is an ecologically congruous hotel that stops you in your tracks...(and the food) scrumptious." (Lonely Planet – Puerto Rico)

"Picture this: your own private cabin set amid lush tropical gardens; wrap-around views of jungly, emerald-green mountains...selected one of Ten Amazing Trips Around the World." (New York Magazine, Travel Issue).

 
TRAVEL LOGISTICS:
There are three airports into Puerto Rico for international flights; San Juan, Ponce and Aguadilla. San Juan has by far the most flights and the large majority of people arriving from the mainland touchdown there. Upon acceptance you will be sent information for booking a shuttle from the airport to Casa Grande.
 
PLEASE NOTE:

This is a 200hr Certification process. All of the sessions and assignments are to that purpose and are therefore required in order to successfully complete this program. What I am asking of you is that you do your very best. Over and above that, is that you apply yourself to this process in the way you want your students to apply themselves in your classroom.

Please contact us directly if you wish to discuss any questions you have regarding your readiness for this program.
