The Costa Rica school landscape

From fully-immersive public schools to international curricula, here are the main paths families consider.

Public schools

Free, Spanish-language, and the most immersive path into local life, with the trade-offs that come with a public system.

Private & bilingual schools

The most common choice for relocating families: English/Spanish instruction, varied curricula, and a wide range of tuition.

International & homeschool

International-curriculum schools (IB, US, British) and a growing homeschool community for families who want flexibility.
