Most Spanish students will choose to stay with a Costa Rican family while attending Epifania Spanish Language School. Each family is carefully chosen based on their friendliness, cleanliness and willingness to help our Spanish students. By staying with a Costa Rican family, you will be able to practice your Spanish Language as much as you like, while experiencing a traditional Costa Rican lifestyle.

If needed, our staff will pick you up at International Airport and take you directly to your Homestay family. Someone from the family will go with you to the learning Spanish school on the first day of Spanish classes to show you the way.

While you are staying with a family you will have your own private room, breakfast and dinner and laundry service.
