When you’re a parent with school-age kids, moving to San Juan del Sur as an expat has an added challenge: How do you ensure that your kids get a good education?
In fact the list of things you want your child to learn at school is a long one. So long that you may be worried that you might not find the right fit for your family’s needs.
If this is something you’re anxious about, spend a few minutes watching this video because it will help put your fears to rest. In the video Brooke talks with Julie Speier, founder and director of San Juan Day School about the kind of experiences and education that kids have at the school.
You’ll discover:
*Why Julie decided to set up a school in San Juan del Sur.
*How the school has “grown with the children” since it’s founding in 2009.
*Exactly how the classes and teaching methods at the school “develop and nurture the whole child”.
*How the school embraces and appreciates the culture and history of Nicaragua.
*How an ongoing needs-based scholarship program with Escuela Adelante helps local children in the community.
*How the school is evolving into a 12th grade international English school (and how a 30 acre farm provides an amazing environment for education).
*And much more.
