Thanks for the additional information! I corresponded with the Escuela Complementaria in Cauhuita and was encouraged to at least have foundational spanish, that the school year starts feb 12th, and costs around $120 (tuition probably going up) with a 20% discount for additional child, fees for uniform shirts bought from the school, and a bus fee. I do not know the bus fee as they said to check back later, but I have heard it is around $100 a month from Puerto Viejo.
Because my kids already have some Spanish and we have a few months, I am pretty sure they will start in July (if there is still room) and repeat the 2nd 1/2 of their school year and kick back in with their full grade in Feb. This was a recommendation from the school. That should give them a chance to get acclimated, brush up on their Spanish and be ready for the full year. At least that is the plan as of right now. I’ll report back how it all goes this summer 😉 Worst comes to worst we’ll home school the regular subjects and Spanish until Feb, but I think the 1/2 year plan is great (the kids however are lukewarm on this idea except for the fun of meeting all the new kids).

thanks again!

Thanks alot Makohan! I visited the schools in the area (except Limon which seemed too far regardless) and talked to some people with kids at the school in Cahuita who all had positive feedback, but forgot to get a contact and their website is not fully functional, at least the one I have found http://www.cyecc.com/.

I’ll make sure to report back if I get any useful information.

PS> I also met the gym teacher at the Escuela Publica in PV and hung out for awhile after school and it seemed like a really positive atmosphere and the kids were all having a blast.

Hi Makohan and thanks for the info…it’s a little harder to gather info about schooling in Talamanca..Are you referring to the school right in Puerto Viejo, or Cocles? Those are pretty much 100% spanish language with some english study correct? DO you happen to have any info on the school in Cahuita and/or Limon with regards to contact info, terms, fees, busing etc?

Thank you!
