La Paz Community Schools: Where Education Is Rooted in Shared Humanity
La Paz Community School is where our mission comes to life every day
Located in Costa Rica, the school brings local and international students together in an environment that celebrates diversity, leadership, and shared humanity. Students learn through bilingual instruction, experiential projects, community engagement, and practices that nurture confidence, compassion, and curiosity.
We partner closely with the school to ensure every student has access to this kind of education, regardless of economic background.
What We Support
Scholarships & Financial Aid
We expand access so that students of all backgrounds can learn and grow together. Scholarships remove financial barriers and help create an integrated, community-rooted student body.
Experiential & Human-Centered Learning
We invest in programs that help students build essential skills — leadership, empathy, autonomy, critical thinking — through hands-on projects, bilingual learning, mindfulness practices, and community involvement.
Facilities & Capital Projects
We support safe, inspiring learning environments where students and teachers can thrive.
Educator Development
We help equip teachers with the tools and training they need to strengthen human-centered learning in their classrooms.
Community Engagement
We invest in programs that connect students to their community and each other — building confidence, belonging, and lasting relationships.
Why This Work Matters
Students need more than academics to thrive. They need the human skills that allow them to communicate across cultures, think independently, collaborate with others, and lead with compassion.
The La Paz model shows what’s possible when students from different backgrounds learn side by side in an environment that values dignity, connection, and shared responsibility. It strengthens families, creates opportunity, and builds social capital that benefits the entire community.
