STAFF DIRECTORY
We have the collaboration of an administrative body made up of 5 members, the operational body with 4 members and a faculty made up of 19 teachers, professors, and assistants.
Multiculturalism also prevails among Dolphin’s and Pacific collaborators, out of 28 collaborators only 9 are Costa Rican, reaffirming once again the richness of learning at our institution.
Each teacher and professor on campus makes a sum of more than 130 years of experience, professionalism, and vocation in charge of the educational process of their students.
Dolphin’s and Pacific teaching staff have the experience and motivation that a student always has behind them throughout their individual and personalized learning process.

"Teaching is training other people with a vocation.
Teaching is an activity that is carried out in conjunction with home and school, it is an experience that is based on love, tolerance and commitment. When I watch my students develop their capabilities, accomplish their accomplishments, and be amazed at what they do, there are no words to describe how special it is to see them as the wonderful beings that are unique and special."
Teacher Dyanne Badilla

I am a strong believer in integral health and movement.
As a psychologist it is my goal to instill in the younger generations a healthy mindset to carry on through their lives. It is imperative not just for the individual, but for society at large that we train our young minds to be psychologically healthy and ready for everything that comes their way in life.

Teacher Johnny Benavides
School & High School Language Arts
I found in teaching the opportunity to use art and spirituality as a way to understand and support the human condition. When I was at the University, I studied that pedagogy and didactics are a type of art, that was the moment where I found myself interested in this profession. I feel that spending time with children is a healing therapy. I really like understanding the mind, and every time I teach I find myself into a constant research that I intrinsically enjoy, therefore I consider myself an experiential, eclectic and alternative teacher.
Teacher Lucrecia Jimenez
Industrial Arts
This beautiful institution has allowed me to develop as a professional and acquire unforgettable experiences both as a person and as a teacher. What I enjoy most about working here is when we do a project and when I congratulate them for achieving something new. It fills me with excitement to see the entire process of growth and development of students, to see every step they take, and to know that I am part of those new learnings. It motivates me to continue doing my job with the utmost love. To the directors and colleagues, for every word and display of affection that motivates me to continue, for being the best leaders of this institution, it will always be my second home.
Teacher Nelly Moncada

To be a teacher is both a responsibility and a blessing. Of course, our job is to teach the content of the lessons, but we also have a responsibility regarding education in values. By modeling patience, kindness, and respect, we can prepare our students to be citizens of the 21st century.

"Educating for me is promoting the acquisition of abilities and skills, being a facilitator of knowledge and good habits through different activities that allow the student to develop physical and intellectual capacities; is sharing feelings, giving the best of oneself to each student, teaching with love and patience, reinforcing values, and making each day the best for each one."
