Costa Rica Schools and Day Care Centres
Costa Rica
Known as the Switzerland of Central America, Costa Rica is one of the smaller countries in the region but has an abundance of natural beauty and is populated by friendly, well-educated people. Costa Rica has obtained the highest standard of living in Central America by embracing democracy and disbanding its army.
This small country is a paradise for nature lovers with National Parks, jungles, volcanoes, beaches, and more water per square mile than any other country in the world, excluding New Zealand.
Weather
The weather in Costa Rica is extremely diverse and will depend on the time of year and altitude of your location. From about May to mid-November there will be good, sunny weather in the mornings and rain in the afternoons. In September and October the rains are heaviest but should not effect travelling in the area. During the dry season there will be sunshine and warm temperatures with occasional winds during January and February.
Free Time
The free time you have will depend on your agreed schedule. During your free time, volunteers are welcome to use the Internet and telephone facilities at the volunteer center, the cafeteria, where there is free coffee & fruit juice and use of travel information & reservation desk. Some schools have organized activities and volunteers are welcome to be part of these.
You will also have the chance to participate in daily Latin dance classes, cooking classes, and conversation classes. The country’s capital of San José has many museums, theatres, international restaurants, discotheques and bars.
Getting there
You will need to arrange flights into Alajuela to the Juan Santamaria International Airport. We strongly advise that you arrange your flights to arrive on the Sunday before your project starts.
Upon arrival you will be met by a project representative at the airport and transferred to your accommodation.
