Costa Rica International Academy

While their education is average compared to other international schools in the area or US based schools, there are issues of child safety at this school. Bullying is rampant, children have frequently been hurt on faulty playground equipment and young children are basically unsupervised at recess, which is when a lot of verbal and physical abuse occur as well as injuries. When issues arise, they are impossible to fix, because the school won’t acknowledge any problems. And you can’t fix problems that you won’t admit are problems. They struggle retaining staff. I assume because of a toxic work environment.
