It seems to be that it is that the teacher who will make the final decision, although if your child is fluent in Spanish it could help but in general, while still a 'tourist' your child cannot be enrolled. There are many international tourists speaking multiple languages, which make teaching very difficult for a non-English speaking teacher.

Once you have applied for Residency, it may be permitted . Note that many of the public school are 'below' par' especially in the rural areas.

I moved to Guanacaste with my 4 children. age 9, 11, 13 and 15. None of them knew any Spanish and I remained on a tourist visa. I put them in the public school system without any difficulty, the 2 oldest in Collegio (high school).

They all learned Spanish really fast as they had done previously. With no English at all, after a move to an English speaking area, I put them in the public school system.

They are now trilingual.

Children learn a language must faster than adults do.

After 2 years in the public school system, the 2 eldest were concerned about their ability to compete should they decide to work in the USA or another western country. The quality of the education didn't seem to be there.

Exams time, cheating was widespread and I mean widespread. Everyone was cheating. If you didn't, you'd end up at the bottom of the class.
