Program Fees and Dates

Our programs are famously comprehensive and are an excellent value. Though many of our programs incorporate some of the most extensive travel and excursions of any study abroad programs, our fees are often similar to or lower than the fees of programs that just provide tuition and housing.

Airfare to Belize

Airfare from the United States to Belize typically costs about $600 from most United States cities. We designate a group arrival and departure date for admitted students and arrange a greeting service and airport transfer from the Belize City airport to San Ignacio. As several US cities have flights to Belize, we do not typically designate a single group flight, but instead ask students to arrive at approximately the same time in the afternoon. Once the group has gathered, we take the group as a whole to the student accommodations in San Ignacio.

For students that are unable to travel on the group dates, we can arrange a personal airport pickup and transfer for an additional cost of $75-100. San Ignacio is approximately a two hour car ride from the airport in Belize City and we do not recommend that students attempt to navigate this transfer on their own.
