Help me find an elementary school!

3 years ago
Hi! We are relocating to Costa Rica for a year in the summer of 2022. My daughter will be in 1st grade. She currently goes to an English-Spanish bilingual kindergarten in the U.S., so she will likely be conversant, but not fluent by the time we arrive in Costa Rica. We are US citizens and will relocate from August 2022-July 2023.

Here's what we hope to find:

1. Mostly Spanish instruction.
2. Will accept US citizens
3. Can be private or public--we are open to either. Our main academic goal is for our kid to improve her spanish, while learning the basic 1st grade stuff--e.g. reading, some simple math, etc.

Academics isn't as important to us as opportunities to practice spanish and have fun. She's young for her grade, so she could repeat 1st grade when we return to the US if needed.

We are open to any location in Costa Rica, but prefer to be in a town with natural beauty, access to the beach, some good food and friendly diverse neighbors...and, of course, a place for our daughter to attend school and improve her Spanish.

Thanks!
