Ø   Excellent results
We make sure that you are making the most of your stay and learning Spanish quickly and easily, no matter what your age, background or Spanish skills are.

Our practical methodology, innovative books and intimate class size ensure excellent results. We will even offer you extra classes at no cost, if necessary, to make sure that you will achieve your language goals.

Ø   Highly qualified instructors
The IECR takes great care to offer high quality programs. For this reason, all our teachers hold a university degree and have ample experience. Moreover, they regularly get further internal training.

Ø   Flexibility & Variety
New courses start every Monday year-round. However, we operate on an open-enrollment basis so that you can start our Spanish programs on other days as well, although we recommend starting on a Monday.

Our students say they greatly appreciate our flexibility and the diversity of our programs because they are able to travel and enjoy other activities while learning Spanish.

Ø   Individualized Service
At IECR we guarantee personal attention to each student. From the moment you arrive in Costa Rica we consider you part of our family. We will go out of our way to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

Ø   International and Diverse Atmosphere
Unlike most schools who cater to only one type of student, IECR’s students come from all over the world creating an international, intercultural atmosphere.
Our school welcomes students of all ages and backgrounds.

Ø   Great facilities and Convenient location

We offer modern and comfortable facilities in a warm, homelike atmosphere. Also available are additional areas of recreation where our students can rest after a stimulating day of classes.

IECR is located in San José, in a quiet and secure neighborhood. We are on the East side of the city, 20 minutes walking distance from downtown and within easy access to restaurants, stores, gyms, bus stations, cultural institutions and museums.
