Academia Tica and the community

Academia Tica is actively involved with the community of Coronado. Our philosophy of teaching believes that a student not only should strive for a Travel and Learn but a Travel and Help concept.

Academia Tica collaborates with the local social institutions.

The following social institutions welcome any kind of donation, please contact Academia Tica

  • Nursery home
    This Nursery home provides several services in an effort to rehabilitate mothers with drug problems. 
 

  • Foster home for children
    This foster home for children receives several of Academia Tica volunteers that provide a great assistance for these needy children.

  • Daytime Elders home
    Academia Tica volunteer program places eagerly volunteers that help in many duties and have repair the infrastructure of this elder’s home. Since 2005 groups of youths have been visiting this place mainly during the summer.

Other very important social institutions are:

  • Nutrition center for primary school children
  • Center for environmental education
  • Down Syndrome Center

Urban development plan initiated by the Academia Tica.
More recently a project initiated by the school with collaboration with the local municipality brought a group of urban development professionals and their students from Germany to Coronado to start an urban development plan for the county. This group came to us from the Technical University at Hamburg-Harburg - Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg. http://www.tuhh.de/
They stayed in the area, met with many local leaders and prepared recommendations in the form of a regional plan for the development options that Coronado has for the near future.

The name given to the proyect by the German group is:
Regionales Entwicklungskonzept für den Bezirk Vázquez de Coronado, Costa
Rica

Other examples that show how the school participates in the growth of the community of Coronado are the following:

  • Hiring local teachers.
  • Using services for its operations from companies based in the county.
  • Using local student transportation services.
  • Hiring local help for its security, building and grounds maintenance.
  • Using local copy centers, print shops, bakeries, restaurants.
  • Taking its students to local tourist spots.
  • Ana Mercedes, Academia´s Director is a founding and active member of Coronado´s Chamber of Tourism.
