When we asked about the schools in Costa Rica, they said...

"If your expat package does not cover the cost of a school- Take advantage of the language and culture and try to get your children to benefit from it by experiencing it. Avoid over paying at the other schools- this school is for kindergarten to high school," remarked one parent with kids at New Hope in Santa Barbara de Heredia.

"This is good academically and fairly high standards. Not good for all students if they need extra help and they can get left behind. They do IB, which is more important all the time for anywhere in the world.Price fairly high now approx $850 a month including the bus," explained one expat living in San Jose , Costa Rica.
