About Costa Rica 
Seems like everyone is talking about Costa Rica these days. Costa Rica is everywhere in the media…in the world’s best travel magazines, on all of the hip online sites, featured on all of the travel channels, mentioned in the most read newspapers as the place to go, the place to be, the place to retire and the place to live.
Mention Costa Rica and most people think of Paradise. The country’s vast wildlife, from howler monkeys to toucans, are numerous and easy to spot. Costa Rica boasts some of the world’s best climate, beaches, surfing, fishing and resorts.
Costa Rica (meaning “Rich Coast”) is officially the Republic of Costa Rica, long known to be the safest and most stable country in Central America. Costa Rica is bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the south, the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the east. Costa Rica was the first country in the world to constitutionally abolish its army.Its incredibly varied geography means you can tour a cloud forest one day, climb a volcano the next and finish on some of the world’s most beautiful and pristine beaches.
It’s no surprise why so many people have chosen Costa Rica for their second home, retirement or real estate investment.
Costa Rica is becoming the relocation destination of choice for families with young children. Many are choosing Costa Rica as a great place to raise a family compared to the US...warm weather year-round, surrounded by nature, slower pace of life, a growing economy, a more diverse culture. Costa Rica offers an alternative from the deteriorating US society - litigious, uptight, insular, materialistic, unhappy, demanding, self-obsessed, sedentary, PC and TV addicted, shopaholic-ridden.
Costa Rica offers many educational options for relocating families, two of the best being the Country Day school in Escazu near San Jose (http://cds.ed.cr/) and the Country Day school near Flamingo Beach in Guanacaste (http://www.cdsgte.com/).
