Colegio Calasanz

Colegio Calasanz San José is a Catholic educational institution located in the Montes de Oca district, operated by the Piarist Fathers. The school follows the Costa Rican national curriculum (MEP) integrated with the specific pedagogical traditions of San José de Calasanz. Students receive instruction primarily in Spanish, with English and French taught as core languages to prepare them for local and international communication. The campus includes a dedicated sports pavilion, soccer fields, and science laboratories. A central feature of the school is the "Movimiento Calasanz," a program that facilitates student involvement in community service, pastoral activities, and leadership retreats. This initiative is a cornerstone of the school’s identity, focusing on social responsibility alongside traditional classroom learning. For families seeking an education that combines local national standards with a strong emphasis on Christian values and community engagement, the school provides a structured environment within a well-connected urban setting.
