The institution works with classes of no more than 11 children to guarantee personalized education. With almost 20 years of service, this school enjoys a good reputation with the inhabitants of Puriscal.
As for high school education, The Colegio Tecnico Profesional de Puriscal has been serving the community since 1969. Students from 7th to 12th grade are offered basic courses and additional courses such as Computer Networking, Finance and Banking, and Accounting.
