What Parents Say
The most beautiful school I’ve ever seen right on the ocean ! Wonderful, nurturing teachers and staff. My child comes home singing and smiling everyday. We couldn’t be happier here! And great school community vibes !
Jennifer Frasher
To say this school is phenomenal, incredible, and in truth quite magical would be a vast understatement! The love of the teachers, the richness of the curriculum, the wisdom and heart of the administration, the deliciousness of the food, the nourishment of the soul, the sounds of the waves lapping in the background, monkeys joining the children as they swing from trees, the beautiful gardens that we work in and eat from, the music, the movement, the art, the insightful literature, the meaningful festivities, and the truly exemplary families and friendships. . . . it all comes together in transcendent, transformative, inspiring, and remarkably expansive ways. To invest in our children, our family, and ultimately ourselves in this way has brought endless dividends that are priceless and worth every financial sacrifice or otherwise. Thank you Casa de las Estrellas!! You truly are the making of Super Stars!

So grateful for this wonderful school and the positive impact it has on our family!

Our three children (ages 3, 7 and 9) go to school here. Besides the magical setting (jungle and beach), amazing teachers, and tight community, this is the only Waldorf school certified by the ministry of education in Costa Rica. Initially thought Waldorf education was a little 'woo' - turns out, it's a science-backed, holistic, arts-integrated approach that nurtures the head, heart, and hands to foster creativity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. Not to mention deep connection with self and nature. If you want the best school in Nosara for toddler - 6th grade, look no further. We're so grateful this school exists and we're excited to continue building our community with existing and new families.

A dream of a school! Incredibly lucky our son can learn and play right next to the beach in a safe, stimulating and thoughtful environment. Says a lot about the place when the teachers and staff love to be there and are all smiles. Encourage anyone to schedule a visit, you’ll leave enchanted.

Our 4-year-old son visits this school and he (and we) love it. it‘s a spacious finca, with open-air classrooms right at the beach, absolutely magic not only for the children. truly representing the philosophy of waldorf-founder Rudolf Steiner.

This school is a dream! All of the teachers are such kind hearted humans and have held our children with such love and care. The festivals are pure magic, as are the sweet daily rituals (songs, bread making, beach and farm walks, etc). The campus is beautiful, with inviting classrooms on the beach and in the jungle. We are so grateful to be part of such a loving and beautiful community and education that honors the whole development of our children, allowing them to play and grow with nature, community and awe for life.
