OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM AT COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL, COSTA RICA

At our international Elementary School in Costa Rica, we provide our students with opportunities to explore their interests and foster their independence to perform at the best of their potential — not only academically, but physically, socially, and creatively. Students develop more effective communication skills, and most importantly, they actively participate in the learning process, as they develop the skills and attitudes of life-long learners.

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.
