We are planning on moving to Costa Rica next summer,and we just looked at several schools for our 13 yr old. We are looking at either Lincoln or Country Day. Does anyone have any input on either schools.
As I understand, Country Day will have more expat/North American students along with the upper class Costa Rican families students. Lincoln will have more of the upper class Costa Rican family students with less expats. They are both good schools as far as education and students going on to Ivy League Universities etc… Correct me if I’m wrong anyone.
Both Lincoln and Country Day are “American” schools in their outlook and curriculum. The differences are many:
1) Geographical location – Consider the time travelling to each school in the rush hour. Lincoln is to the north of the city and CD is to the West.
2) Lincoln offers the IB programme in 11th and 12th Grade. A first rate international academic preparation for college.
3) Lincoln has a brand new school building
4) CD is more expensive.
5) Lincoln has changed in emphasis in recent years but has stronger links to Costa Rican culture and the spanish languageHave you considered other schools such as British School of Costa Rica, Blue Valley European School, Pan American????
