Schools and Education
Being a very developed city for a country like Costa Rica, there are plenty of schools in the area.
Some of the most respected are:
Monte Verde School
Operating since 1988 as a kindergarten, it expanded to primary school in 1994 and expanded again in 2000 to include the John Baptist High School. The Monte Verde School offers lessons in English and Mandarin and places a strong focus on values and principles.
Saint Gabriel School
Established in 1975, this school accepts students from kindergarten through high school. Like most private schools of its caliber, Saint Gabriel School offers a bilingual curriculum and is known for their small classes which allow more personalized attention on each student.
UNIBE (Medical University)
UNIBE is one of the few universities in the country offering careers in Medicine, Pharmacy, Psychology and Nursery. UNIBE is one of the best options for those who want to pursue a career in health services.
Tibás’ centric location also means that families can choose from several other excellent school options in nearby Moravia, San Pedro, San Antonio, or San Jose.
