Why study at Academia Tica Spanish School?
Learn fast and have fun
A Spanish immersion program should be dynamic, cultural and fun. You’ll have a good time and this will maximize what you learn: “fun classes = serious learning”.
Live the language
Costa Rica has lots to offer and we can help you with our included activity program, plus a full range of tourism services as well as volunteering and internship opportunities.
The right program for you
Learning is different for everyone. Customize your experience in Costa Rica and at the school. We have two locations and lots of options!

Learning Spanish just got a lot furrier 😍🦥🥲 with a sloth at the school!!
.
We had the best Earth Day visit ever in our Coronado campus and we could’t be more excited/tripping now. A beautiful two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) was spotted by our neighbors’ dogs and over the course of a couple days it did a trip around our parking lot vegetation. Just as it appeared, it mysteriously vanished from the tree we saw it just an hour before when we went to lunch. We’ll be looking at the chance of spotting it again with our neighbors, and if needed, perhaps it should be relocated, but we are now officially in love!
.
A mystical sign during this Earth Day, no doubt. We will be forever in awe!
.
Sloths are relatively common in both Coronado and Jacó Beach, but only in forests… having it in our garden was super special!!! ✨❣️✨ this gives us a lot of energy to move into projects we always wanted to do, like planting more trees around us.

#Spanish for today: #perezoso, #increíble, #bonito, #peludo, #comiendo 🙂

Thanks to our student Marc for the shot! Did we mention we love #drone shots 🤭

¡Sí, estamos abiertos! - We are open!
.
One of the most common questions we get nowadays is if we are open. We are! BOTH our locations are open for in person classes 🙂 we are taking precautions and following the rules set by the Costa Rica Health Department (Ministerio de Salud) while still having a sensible and reasonable approach.
.
At @academiatica we actually haven’t closed one day due to the pandemic 🦥🙌🏾... only weekends and holidays though 😉
