The Cloud Forest School or Centro Educational Creativa

Here are a bunch of photos from school. The school is on the slope of a hill.
There are buildings spread out all over with about 2 or 3 classrooms in each building.
Since the weather is pretty nice here (at least it never gets cold) there are a lot of "outside" spaces like porches and decks. The main offices of the school are in the building with the big covered porch, where a lot of meetings take place!


This is the walkway to the 3rd and 4th grade classrooms and the library. There are bathrooms at each end of the building.
The children eat their snack and lunch outside. During recess they can walk through the forest to a soccer field and basketball court or run down the hill to the playground.

This is a (bad) picture of the garden. There is an organic vegetable garden and a little nursery where plants, trees, etc. are started from seeds and cuttings.
Almost all of the students come to school on the bus. Here is the Costa Rican flag and a view of the buses below.
