If you take private classes, you MAY be able to start any day of the week, but please contact us first to see if this is possible. Holidays (2007) ILISA Panama is closed on January 1 (Monday) and 9 (Tuesday), February 20 (Tuesday Carnaval), April 6 (Easter Friday), May 1 (Tuesday), November 5 (Monday, separation of Colombia) and 28 (Wednesday, Independence Day), December 7 (Friday, Mother's day) and 25. Yes, they love their holidays in Panama. That's because when a holiday falls on a weekend day in Panama, they move it to the Friday before or Monday after. A legacy of the old days when the military power did everything to keep the masses happy. And now that we have a democracy, it's hard to get a majority to get people to work more. Not that surprising :-). It should be understood, there are no classes on these days and missed group classes will not be made up. Private classes will be made up to the extend possible during the same week or the week before or after the week affected by the holiday. We also reserve the right to move our day of closure to another day of the week for the benefit of student 'long weekends'. Please check with us if you need more specific information regarding these days. Registration DeadlinesWe recommend that you register at least 8 weeks before your starting date in order for us to be able to accommodate you with the most appropriate host family and to make any other special arrangements that may be necessary. You may register with less notice and we will be happy to accommodate you on a space available basis. There is no extra fee for late registration.
