Learn Spanish in San José at our partner language school, Academia Tica. Academia Tica is situated 10 kilometres away from the centre of San José, in the picturesque small town of San Rafael de Coronado. Academia Tica is located on the site of a former coffee plantation, in a charming, quiet neighbourhood.
The school's teachers are native speakers and are all very friendly with a lot of experience in teaching Spanish foreign students. The school atmosphere is professional but relaxed, ensuring that students work hard but at the same time enjoy the work that they are doing. On arrival students undertake an oral or written language exam to determine within which class they will be placed to enhance their language development.
In addition to your Spanish course, you can also take part in a varied and interesting programme of activities organised by Academia Tica such as:
The minigroup course includes 20 lessons of 45 minutes per week, in groups of 6 or less students.
General language course: reading, speaking, pronunciation, listening comprehension, grammar, vocabulary expansion, Central American culture. If there is only one participant for a given level, that participant will receive 15 units of private instruction per week during their minigroup course instead of 20 units of group.
Minimum age is 16 years.
