   General conditions   

1. Minimum age

The minimum age for enrollment in general courses is 17 years old.  The minimum age for enrollment in the Course for Young Students (Salamanca & Málaga) is 14 years old.

2.   Responsibility

Escuela Internacional does not assume responsibility for acts outside of its control (i.e. natural disasters) nor the actions of the students outside of the study centers.          

3.  Course levels and schedule

On the first day of the course students take a placement exam to enter in the appropriate level for each student's proficiency and needs. At each E.I. Center there are at least 4 different levels.  The majority of the courses are given in the morning, however in the summer/high season there are some courses held in the afternoon.

4. Extending your stay

Students who wish to extend the number of weeks they attend courses need only to let the E.I. secretary know, and must pay all fees for the extended period before beginning classes in the new period.

5. Accommodations

Reservations are on a weekly basis. We reserve your room from the Sunday before you start classes until the Saturday after you complete the course.  It is possible to request additional days.

The price for accommodations in a host family includes laundry service (except in Cuernavaca), bed linens and the number of meals requested.

Students who will live in an apartment in Spain, can pick up the keys at the place and time indicated on the Registration Confirmation. The price of apartments is per person and includes all utilities except gas. Students living in an apartment must bring their own bed linens and towels.

Students are responsible for any broken or damaged objects due to poor usage.

6. Airport transfer service.

Those students who request airport transfer service will be met at the airport by a representative from the chosen center. This person will assist them in arriving to their accommodations. Those students who do not request transfer service may go directly to the address indicated on the Registration Confirmation.  In Costa Rica, transfer service is included in the price of accommodations in a host family.

7.  Medical Insurance and Visas

Since medical and accident insurance are not included in the cost of the program, we advise those students interested in having medical insurance to check the appropriate box on the enrollment form.  Those students from countries that need a visa to enter Spain or Latin America should check the appropriate box on the enrollment form so that the school can send a Certificate of Enrollment once registration has been completed.

8.   Cancellations and E.I. Cancellation Insurance

If a cancellation is made before the course begins, students will be refunded all pre-paid course and accommodation fees. The enrollment fee is non-refundable. All cancellations need to be sent in writing to the Central Office of Escuela International. 

9. Changes of center or accommodation

Once the program has begun, one needs to notify the E.I. Central Office about any changes.  There will be an administration charge of €30 for each change in center or accommodations.  Once classes have started, the type of course cannot be changed.  Students may request a change of level from the Director of Studies, which will be admitted when it serves to improve the program for the student.

10. Late arrivals and absences

If you will arrive later than the beginning date of the course, it is best to communicate this to the Registration Center in order to reserve your place. If you arrive late for a course, or are absent during the course, no refund will be granted.

11. Misconduct

E.I. reserves the right to refuse admittance in the course and accommodations and return the fees to any student who exhibits poor behavior, does not attend classes, or regularly arrives late to classes.

12. Exceptional changes

E.I. reserves the right to change the course dates and prices without prior notice.  In the case of cancellation of any course, the student will be reimbursed in full.

13. Acceptance of the General Conditions

Participation in an E.I. course implies knowledge of and acceptance by the student and/or his/her parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of all General Conditions included in this brochure.
