Another school to take a look at for high schoolers, where students are really excelling is Harkness Institute in Bucerias. www.harknessinstitute.org

Dear Expat Exchange member, We were recently told by a prospective parent that they had found your article on the web; even if it was from 2009, it prompted an interesting conversation. I am happy your overall experience was a good one, but I am sorry you feel like the school didn't do everything you felt was needed to help your child become better integrated in her new class. We keep growing and learning as a school and in the close to ten years since your daughter attended here, we have implemented diverse strategies to help integrate both national and international new students, such as our ambassador program, designed and closely monitored by our school's counselor, our new student meet and greet, pizza parties, increased parent involvement, and more. We have a high student rotation yearly, it's the nature of our town, so most classes welcome new students each year, bringing diversity, new perspectives, and experiences to the group dynamics. We are committed to making each new student swiftly feel at home. We would love to contact you directly. Best, the ASPV team.
