Theater-In-Education
An alternative learning experience, for families who think beyond the ordinary.
Located in beautiful Nosara, Costa Rica, our arts-based learning community welcomes children ages 5–14 (Kindergarten - 8th grade) into a vibrant, imaginative environment where they are encouraged to explore, create, and confidently express themselves.
Nosara Playhouse is for families looking for a more creative, flexible and human approach to learning. Children learn in small groups, build strong relationships with their teachers and peers, and explore academics through projects, discussion, creativity and real-world experiences. By blending strong academics and social-emotional learning with Montessori principles and Theater in Education, we nurture the whole child, intellectually, socially, and creatively.
We provide 4 classrooms:
Our program includes Spanish classes, while most instruction is provided in English.
What We Believe
We begin each day in community, giving children space to speak, listen, reflect, and learn how to understand their feelings and each other.
We learn through movement, music, storytelling, and play, because the brain learns best when the whole body is engaged.
We believe theatre, music, and singing are powerful forms of education, building confidence, empathy, communication, and courage.
We study living things by observing them, building models, exploring nature, and asking real questions, not only by reading about them.
We draw inspiration from ancient cultures and tribal communities, where people gathered daily to share stories, feelings, and wisdom.
We believe character matters. Integrity, honesty, kindness, and responsibility are taught every day.
We see each child as a unique character, worthy of deep attention, respect, and understanding.
We believe nature is a teacher, and that children learn best when they are connected to the living world around them.
