Although our official campus is only 15 acres, we like to think of all Costa Rica as our actual campus! Full time boarding students enjoy a variety of weekend activities that enrich their experience and appreciation of Costa Rica. These range from visits to the Arenal Volcano area, the vibrant cloud forests of Monteverde, camping trips to nearby beaches, white water rafting, cave-spelunking, horseback riding, sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving (scuba certification is available for those who are uncertified) surfing and kayaking. They can also attend cultural events in Liberia, Santa Cruz and San José. All are included as part of the full time boarding student tuition. The activities are also open to 5-day boarders and day students at an additional cost. Usually, an overnight trip is taken every-other weekend, with the intermediate weekend being spent on campus or on day-trips. Many boarding students choose Country Day School because they can not only get the same or better college preparatory education available at many other schools, but because they also get to participate in these exciting weekend programs!
