Costa Rica School

Welcome to the American International School Web Site!!!

American International School of Costa Rica (AIS) is a non-profit, college preparatory private school. It offers a program modeled primarily on United States curricula to a multi-national student body of approximately two hundred students from preschool through twelfth grade.

American International School of Costa Rica is a community school that promotes life-long learning for students, parents, faculty, and staff. AIS is fully accredited by the United States Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and by the Costa Rican Ministry of Education.



American International School of Costa Rica was founded in 1970 by parents seeking a U.S.-modeled educational program with individualized instruction. Located in a residential neighborhood just outside the capital, San José, the school is owned by a parent association to which all American International School of Costa Rica families belong, and is governed by a parent-elected Board of Directors.
