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 is celebrated on a weekday, classes will not be held that 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). When a 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.
If you want to know about on-going and current events, follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
