passports are required (iD will not collect this information, but it will be a requirement of the airline).

Flights are not included in the price of the program. After you register, we will connect you with our trusted travel agent (who we use to plan our corporate excursions) to assist with planning flights and other transportation related to the program. Her services are offered at no additional cost. 

On Thursday, the first day of the program, teens will arrive to the San Jose, Costa Rica airport (SJO). On the first Saturday, teens and instructors will travel by bus to Dominical. This is where they will learn and explore.

On the last Sunday, teens and instructors will travel by bus back to San Jose, and will depart San Jose on Monday. 

Our travel agent is available to arrange additional time in Costa Rica if your family would like to explore the country together outside of the program.

Depending on the excursion, activities may include hiking (possibly on wet surfaces), swimming, and exposure to heights. Our team is prepared to offer modified participation options for students who may find certain activities challenging, ensuring everyone has an enriching experience

Every detail of the program has been carefully planned to ensure the highest quality experience. Our Head of Education has personally vetted the hotel, learning venue, and excursions. Our trusted travel agent is available to assist families with planning flights and other transportation related to the program at no additional cost. 

Boys and girls will be housed separately in different wings of the same hotel. 

Most of the rooms are singles, with a few that can house two people. Roommate requests/preferences will be solicited during the application process, and we’ll make every effort to accommodate them. If no preference is listed, your teen may be assigned a roommate based on their age and gender.

You can also always call our Program Specialists at 1-888-709-8324 or email hello@idtech.com to assist you with making this request.

Within 7 days of registering for the course you will receive an email with a survey to complete, asking for key information we need for this specific program. This survey should take 15-30 minutes to complete. Teens will be confirmed for the program within two weeks of us receiving their survey. 

In addition to specialized skills, teens will leave Costa Rica with 3-5 volunteer hours (after a day volunteering at Animal Sanctuary with native animals) a new network of friends and mentors, resilience, sharpened critical-thinking, capstone experience, and an official iD Tech diploma that stands out to admissions officers.

Plus, they'll take home an exclusive swag bag with a limited edition t-shirt and stainless steel water bottle.

Teens will join a group of their peers in designing and developing a project inspired by visits to local businesses and nonprofits that are shaping the future. Guided by our most elite instructors, they will collaborate with new friends to develop solutions to real-world challenges, culminating in a final diploma ceremony that family can attend via Zoom.

This program goes beyond academics—it will immerse teens in Costa Rica’s natural wonders. Activities may include catching waves on pristine beaches, volunteering, and exploring iconic volcanoes and lush waterfalls. We guarantee they will enjoy many unforgettable experiences under the guidance of our experienced staff.

We are offering two sessions of NEXT Costa Rica: June 19-30 and July 10-21. Spaces are extremely limited with only 15 students per session, so we encourage you to apply today. This transformative opportunity is the gateway to shaping your teen's brilliant future.
