The Welcome Program Itinerary
The Purpose of the Program
We have found that students who have arrived early for the Welcome Program have an easier time adjusting to their host families, and they make better use of their first few days of classes. They also tend to get more out of their entire program as they don’t have to waste time figuring out how things work on their own. The same is true for travelers who are not attending one of our Spanish language programs.
Our program acts like a buffer for students and travelers, and is intended to make your first few days in Costa Rica relaxing and enjoyable. It is a fun and inexpensive way to get to know the country and its people.
Cost
The cost of the program with shared lodging at the ISLS Student Guesthouse starts at $370 and goes all the way up to as much as $455. The final cost depends upon your Saturday tour choice and your final school destination. The Friday tour is included in the price and is the same no matter which you choose. To find out specific prices, please contact us for more information.
Entertainment
The Welcome to Costa Rica Program is very entertaining! We guarantee you will not be disappointed! |
