Questions and answers about Intercultura Costa Rica Spanish Schools
- I booked my flights and I will arrive at San Jose airport around 22:00. Would it be possible to book the airport transfer anyway?“Yes, it won't be a problem. We can organize the airport transfer for you.”Claudia Kiebl, Intercultura Student Services from Intercultura Costa Rica - Mar 12, 2023
- The two of us book a language course, but we have different levels of Spanish. Can we have classes at the same time?“We will do our best to help students traveling together to be on the same class schedule, but we cannot guarantee this (except for families attending with minors). It is the students' responsibility to speak with the Spanish Coordinator by Wednesday of each week to request the same schedule for the following week of study, and we will do our best to accommodate you. However, again, we cannot guarantee this, so please take this into account if it is a determining factor in their study programme here.

FAQ about Intercultura Costa Rica Spanish Schools, Heredia
- Do you have programmes for students of all ages, including seniors?“All students aged 18 and up are welcome to study with Intercultura Costa Rica in Heredia year-round.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - May 03, 2023
- I am a college student looking for some Spanish credits while studying abroad. I am looking for a 6 week period. The one thing I need to know would be if Intercultura Costa Rica Spanish School has official transcripts. My university needs an official transcript after I am done with my courses/lessons to be able to officially give me credit for them. If you can answer this question, that would be amazing!
“As Intercultura Costa Rica Spanish schools is not a university, we are not an accredited institution. However, although we are not an accredited institution, there are several universities in the US and Canada that endorse our programme and have accepted it to be part of their Study abroad programme. Those universities receive and accept our documentation (Curriculum, grades, exams, transcripts, and final portfolios or essays as required by the university) as proof of the educational and evaluative progress via which they grant the credits to their students. It is very important that if a student comes to study with us for university credits, that he/she has already presented our Curriculum to the Spanish department/Study abroad department of his/her university and has been approved for academic credits from Intercultura to be granted. We are happy to help if needed by presenting syllabi, course outlines/curriculum. ”Claudia, Customer Care Coordinator from Intercultura Costa Rica Spanish Schools - Sep 28, 2023 - What is the number of students per class at Intercultura?Depending on the chosen course, the maximum number of students at Intercultura varies from 1 students (Online Private Course) to 6 students (Standard Course 20)
