Join us as we support this transformational education initiative in Ojochal, Costa Rica.
Support Life Project Education
We are committed to offering a space for our current 3-13 year-olds to grow into- a reason for our families to stay anchored in the community beyond early childhood, to evolve our beautiful project into an enduring academic journey through childhood, and into adolescence, and young adulthood.
In 8 years, we have grown from 8 children ages 5-8, to 80 children ages 2.5-13. As our community grows, and as our oldest children approach adolescence, we seek to create continuity and longevity of our successful alternative learning model by expanding our elementary infrastructure to include space to accommodate our maturing children.
In the spirit of Life Project Education’s commitment to co-creation, our adolescents themselves have been the core visionaries, apprentices, consultants, and designers of their dream learning landscape.
While our ambitious 10-year masterplan seeks to ultimately accommodate Preschool-High School, our immediate vision and “Phase One” plans include expansion of our physical infrastructure to accommodate 32 Middle & High School children ages 12-15 by February, 2024.
With the land purchased & prepared, masterplans complete, our first structural designs prepared for permitting, the teaching team assembled, program development underway, we have only funding to accomplish!
DONATION NEEDS:
While the children have created master plans to encompass 5-7 years of expansion, our Phase One expansion plan will fund the first structure within the intentional, multi-purpose community campus for adolescents and families:
