OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM

At our international Elementary School in Costa Rica, our 1st through 5th grade students enjoy a myriad of opportunities to explore their interests, develop their knowledge, and fulfil their unique potential – not only academically, but also physically, socially, and creatively. As active participants in learning, our children develop the skills, confidence, and attitudes needed to become independent, lifelong learners.

From 1st through 5th grade, classes and activities are planned with the developmental stages in mind. We also provide our students with character education activities to help them develop into caring individuals.  


We meet the needs of all our students and are committed to their continuous growth alongside the improvement of all our programs. Every month, we plan an elementary assembly designed to promote a specific character education trait.

The Partnership Between Home and School

We believe a strong home and school partnership is the foundation for student success. This shared responsibility is the most important work we undertake as educators and parents. Parents help plan and implement a variety of events and programs such as the Back-to-School Picnic, Fun Run, our special reading program, and various class activities
