Different Schedules and Classes in Costa Rica

by Justin Box, Greenheart Travel high school student in Costa Rica

It’s now a month into my adventure here in Costa Rica. The course load is quite different than back at home and the day start much earlier than my high school. The school day begins at 7am and ends at 3pm which is a longer day than I am used to.

I have a load of science classes; biology, chemistry, physics and psychology. And every class is in Spanish with the exception English, where I help my classmates with the lessons.

After school I play basketball for about 2 hours then go home eat dinner with my family and do my homework. I have not gone any were noteworthy, but I sure am looking forward to it in the time that I am here.
