HISTORY

Dolphin’s Academy School is a private educational institution, located in Barrio Monteseco in Playas del Coco, Carrillo, Guanacaste. It was born in 2005, as a personal need in common of a group of friends, fathers and mothers of the family and acquaintances, which was to provide a space that fulfilled the function of a nursery, hiring a teacher to teach them to socialize in a way fun to the sons and daughters of this group of friends and acquaintances. That said, the adventure begins on the terrace of the Alvarado Elizondo Family's house.
As the months passed, the group grew, the needs within the community also grew and with much love and dedication the owners achieved what at that time began as Centro Infantil Los Delfines (Dolphins Daycare Center), which in 2010 would become Dolphin's Academy School, to give way to a solid educational institution that is maintained over time, committed to providing quality teaching, with international standards, truly bilingual, of social commitment, attended by education professionals, serving children from 1.5 years in early stimulation, up to junior high school students.
