Welcome
Our Approach to Education
Journey School began in August of 2018 as a community of learners living in the gold coast of Costa Rica with the plan to grow purposefully and in a spirit of excellence.
Over its first year, Journey School grew to over 100 students with a maximum capacity of 150 students to always maintain a ratio of just ten students for every one teacher (10:1).
Our school utilizes a project-based, student-led curriculum, and offers individualized lesson plans as well as group project opportunities. We offer ample opportunities for student leadership as well as honors, AP and college level classes.
US accredited, Journey School’s central tenants continue to be kindness, empathy, compassion and academic excellence. We work closely with Cognia, PBL Works, REGGIO Children and Conscious Discipline.
