We feel so grateful that we have drinkable water in our wonderful school, we feel very privileged to have this treat right here in our campus facilities, especially during the months from January to May which are the driest and hottest months of the year. With temperatures up to 32°.
With these temperatures and living in the Nicoya Península it is very important that all the students should keep hydrated!
Help all the kiddos, mid-schoolers and high schoolers get fresh and cold water this summer!
We would love to have water dispensers around the school to provide fresh and cold water to all our students! Help us getting 9 water dispensers for the school!
Where will these dispensers be?
- First and second grade area ($250)
- Third and fourth grade area ($250)
- Fifth and sixth grade area (250)

- Spanish, English and Science area ($250)
- Music and Lab area ($250)

We come to the end of one more school year and we finished very successfully, some go others come but the enthusiasm is preserved.
We are very happy to confirm new families that join Futuro Verde during the next school year 2019. FV has grown a lot in the last 10 years since its foundation, in such a way that families who come to FV from various parts of Costa Rica and the world have decided to change their entire lives so that their children can receive a quality education.
With each passing year we experience important changes in our annual enrollment and you can see these changes in the classes. For the 2019 school year, we are very happy to confirm that we have groups that have reached their limit of 20 students per group.
All this was possible thanks to the enrollment process that has been improving year after year, and for this reason, we want to thank all the families that have collaborated with the flexibility towards these changes to have better results which have helped improve the school.

Getting ready for the 2019 school year means getting ready for the scholarship process 2019 too.
The scholarships granted by Futuro Verde are subject to the money collected year after year for the scholarship fund. It is for this reason also that has been of utmost importance the improvement of processes to this day.
This year we had a successful scholarship process and we hope that the upcoming years will be just as successful. For this we will follow the same system we use for this school year:
1. Contact with the social worker in San José who will come to the area to work in the cases
2. Deliver to the families the package of documents necessary to apply for the scholarships, which must be submitted during the established period.
3. Families must pay the fee for the case study to the social worker
4. The social worker begins with the study of each case
5. Home visits are made if necessary
6. The social worker submits scholarship reports and recommendations
7. Families receive approved or unapproved reports and if necessary, they must sign the scholarship contract
It is important to remember that the scholarship process is an ANNUAL process as well as being a privilege granted by the educational center, for which it is the obligation of the families that have a scholarship to apply year after year to compete for the scholarship.
Stay tuned for more information about the 2019 scholarship process!

We are only two months away from when our eleventh grade students take the national Social and Civic Studies examinations of the Ministry of Public Education. In order to obtain their Costa Rican Baccalaureate diploma, they are required to pass these exams evaluating all the content learned by the students, in both subjects, during the last two years. Hence, they need to be extremely focused and committed to make the most of their time to review the subject, practice constantly with the materials that are provided in class and attend the study and preparation centers that are taught in the institution every Thursday at 7:00 am.
The days of the examinations are Thursday, November 1st, for Social Studies and Tuesday, November 6th, for Civic Education.

Futuro Verde is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with great happiness and pride. Throughout the year we have been participating in several fun activities and making commemorative souvenirs with much attention to detail and love, a trademark of Futuro Verde´s education and commitment.
- The celebrations began in February with students painting a new mural made with the aim of beautifying the school. It is installed outside the library, brightening up our sports area with its vibrant colors.
- In the month of April, in celebration of Earth Day, we planted the seeds of our “Founders´ Garden” in the center of the school.
- On Mother’s Day, on August 14th, all students received a Futuro Verde / IB anniversary pencil and a note with the slogan “Making 10 years of history, thank you for leaving your mark!”
- On August 17, to continue with the celebrations of Mother’s Day, “Prom” students organized a movie afternoon with popcorn and babysitters, giving parents the opportunity to enjoy a romantic dinner in local restaurants where the students and the FV administration secured them discounts!
- For the Day of the Child, the FV Student Government outdid themselves with the coordination and creation of a large number of fun activities for the children: Dodgeball tournaments, volleyball, table tennis, soccer , board games, chess, face painting, movies with popcorn, karaoke, wii games, and many more. As a special treat, a cookie with a gluten-free option for celiacs (Futuro Verde is always attentive to everyone’s needs) was given to the children.
- During Civics Week we are showing off a new banner, which is already installed at the entrance of the school.
We still have a whole trimester of classes and many more surprises to go to celebrate the 10 year existence of our Educational Center! Stay tuned, more activities in October, November and December coming your way!
