Teocali Academy

We offer comprehensive education from preschool to International Baccalaureate and bilingual mode.

What is the International Baccalaureate?

The Diploma Program with International Baccalaureate (IB) is an educational option offered at Academia Teocali for students who wish to expand their knowledge and skills. We are one of the few authorized schools in Guanacaste.

IB students have more opportunities to gain admission into prestigious international universities due to the advantages provided by this system of study.

The IB program begins in the eleventh year, following a selection process conducted in the tenth year.

IB students develop a global perspective on subjects, encourage research and teamwork, and acquire competencies and values that prepare them for international university education. Graduating in the twelfth year, IB students have more opportunity to prioritize and delve deeper into other subjects that complement their education.
