We have four ACCOMMODATIONS options for our Spanish School packages: Camping, Hostel,  Homestay and Guest House. Our package prices are based on what type of accommodations you are choosing to stay in.   Please see price chart under PRICES (See left hand navigation).  Once you have chosen an accommodation option number, find your price based on the connecting columns of the number of classes you are planning to take and the accommodation option you have chosen. 
 

 We accept students of all levels from children aged 4 to adults that have not been in the learning circle for many years and everyone in between. Our average age is 22-37 and guests come from over 30 different countries each year.  We are also very popular amongst the older crowd due to our price and atmosphere.  We can set a course structure for beginners up to advanced putting the emphasis on what is important to you. We understand that every person has a different way of learning and different goals and that's what we want to you learn.   
 

For beginners we suggest taking classes with other students of the same level to help with the intenseness of the classes .  The second student not only helps to make the class more interactive for beginner students, but also takes some of the pressure off the student allowing them to ease into learning that much quicker.  It will also give you someone else to do homework and study with.

We suggest following the direction of our self made book, allowing students to gain a basic knowledge of present, past and future while practicing conversational skills throughout all classes so you can use what you have learned. Once the basics have been learned, the student can then set the direction towards more specific grammar or just conversation. If you choose conversation, classes can be based on specific grammatical points or just general conversation allowing the student to practice all grammar points together as it would normally occur in everyday conversation.

We receive many students that have already studied in universities or have taken classes at other schools here in Costa Rica and would like to apply their "grammatica" to more everyday conversation. Because our class size is small, the student can choose the learning style that fits his/her learning abilities.

Private Spanish classes can not be guaranteed for beginner students but are given as much as possible, based on reservation space.  If there is enough space then priority is given to the students with the longest reservation.  3rd  week of study one on one classes guaranteed!!
 

How do we place you in classes? We do not use any form of testing at our school as we have found it is not the best way to judge a student's level. Many students can write or know their grammar but have troubles speaking and vice versa, so what we do is this. When checking in at our school building, we give you our book and ask you to start looking through it and think about what goals you have and your learning capacity.

 From there we make groups, when applicable, ensuring that each student has the right type of classmate. We have found, in our experience, that it is very unlikely that more than three students are compatible, which is why we never go larger than three per class and usually private 1 on 1 Spanish classes, something that most schools can't say.

How many weeks of study will give you a good base? Well we have found that most beginners with good learning habits benefit most from our 3-week program. Remember that your 3rd week of study is guaranteed one on one classes and if you stay for the forth you can volunteer with us and get a 10% discount as well!!  A beginner during this time should gain the ability to form comprehendible sentences in the present tense, form questions both negative and affirmative, use forms of the future and past tenses, and a few other specific grammatical tenses and feel quite comfortable carrying on everyday conversations including understanding what is being said to you…. something that a lot of people forget.
