CISA Price List
CISA PRICE LIST 2026
All prices are expressed in U.S. dollars (USD). As CISA operates in Costa Rica, our USD rates may be periodically adjusted to reflect significant changes in the USD/CRC exchange rate.
The price shown at the time of your inquiry is subject to change until your enrollment or reservation is confirmed. Once your enrollment or reservation has been confirmed and the required payment has been received, your quoted price will be honored and will not be affected by subsequent exchange rate fluctuations.
Quotes are valid for 15 days unless otherwise stated.
Family Special: Programs are normally charged per person per week; however, families receive preferential rates, and children and teenagers placed in the same level qualify for a 2-for-1 rate. Ask for a personalized family budget plan. Contact us
