OUR LOCATION
Located in Uvita on Costa Rica’s Ballena Coast, Trébol Montessori is a bilingual Montessori school serving children ages 3 to 9. The campus is surrounded by nature and designed to support curiosity, independence, and social development.
With small class sizes, a hands-on curriculum, and a community-oriented approach, Trébol offers a thoughtful alternative for families seeking child-led education in a bilingual setting.
OUR LOCATION
Costa Ballena is known for its laid-back lifestyle, where families can enjoy a slower rhythm of life surrounded by nature. With less traffic, fewer crowds, and a strong sense of local community, children can grow up in an environment that feels safe, grounded, and connected. Parents often find peace of mind knowing their kids have the freedom to explore while staying close to home.
From waterfalls and rivers to beaches and hiking trails, outdoor play isn’t an occasional activity — it’s a daily experience. Children living in Costa Ballena grow up surfing, swimming, spotting wildlife, and hiking through rainforest trails. These natural experiences not only promote physical health but also foster creativity, resilience, and environmental awareness from an early age.
The region attracts a mix of local Costa Rican families and international residents, creating a vibrant, multicultural environment. Children learn side by side with peers from different backgrounds, helping them develop open-mindedness and strong social skills. Family events, farmer’s markets, beach cleanups, and community gatherings provide frequent opportunities for connection.
“My granddaughter goes here and I’m so impressed with the way the teachers encourage the children to critically think about the projects they are doing. Jenni and Monica are kind, compassionate and so professional in their jobs and certainly make this school a certain kind of special for the children attending it. I’m so glad my granddaughter has had the opportunity to be part of this little charm of a school in Costa Rica.”

THE SCHOOL’S LOCATION
Our school’s location sits in the heart of Bahía Ballena, part of the Osa canton in Puntarenas province, Costa Rica. Known as the “Whale Bay,” the area features a distinctive sandbar resembling a whale’s tail, visible at low tide — this iconic formation inspired the district’s name.
With natural landmarks and protected marine areas so close, this location supports hands-on learning about ecology, conservation, and cultural identity. Families benefit from living where the environment itself becomes a classroom.
