HSBAcademy’s bilingual high school program for grades 7 – 12 emphasizes the responsibility of the student for his or her success inside and outside the classroom. Students conduct research and participate in project-based learning that emphasizes real-world application of concepts. Technology and arts are integrated into all subjects in a college-preparatory format.
Small group learning allows students to learn while developing interpersonal skills such as working effectively as a team. Students are also taught study skills and test-taking strategies to prepare them for annual M.E.P. exams through our Educcacion Abierta program to receive Costa Rican accreditation. Students also have the option of purchasing U.S. official nationally recognized transcripts. The school assists the parent and child to register and prepare for these exams.
