Nestled in the cloud forest community of Monteverde, Costa Rica, the Monteverde Friends School was founded over 50 years ago by Quakers who left the United States in search of a country and community that supported their peaceful principles. Today, our school continues to promote the universal values of peace, love and respect in the context of a challenging bilingual education and a sense of community.

In addition to providing quality bilingual education to members of the local community, Monteverde Friends School offers study abroad opportunities to US high school students. More information about these opportunities may be found on our Study Abroad page.

The April 2009 issue of Gallo Pinto, our bilingual newsletter, is now online. This issue contains articles, stories, pictures, and more by students and staff of the Monteverde Friends School.
