SCHOOL CLOSING DATES AND NATIONAL HOLIDAYS

Our school calendar helps you quickly in planning your Spanish program dates.

The following dates on our school calendar are National Holidays in Costa Rica: If a holiday falls on a weekday, school will close for the day and a $30 discount will be applied to that week’s rate (NOTE: discount does not apply to low season rates or on private lessons). If the holiday falls on a Monday, classes will begin Tuesday that week. Holidays that fall on a weekend will not affect your Spanish program. Homestays are not affected by the holidays.
