Academia Tica Spanish School Jacó

What locals are saying about Academia Tica Spanish School Jacó

Studying here is nothing like four hours of copying from a whiteboard: the classes are interactive and push you to speak. Past students describe teachers who are dedicated, patient and very friendly, and most of whom speak only Spanish, which helps you practice outside the classroom. There are outdoor classes and even cooking together, a mix of younger and older students, and the school organizes activities and helps plan weekend trips. The comments come from students who stayed between two and five weeks, some several years ago.

The campus is a garden surrounded by nature with a pool in the middle, on Calle Naciones Unidas, formerly known as Ricos y Famosos, in Jacó. Lessons last 50 minutes and courses start at US$350 per week with 20 group lessons; there are also programs with surf and lodging for students. It is the school's second campus, which also has one in Coronado, San José.
