On May 6th, students from our Special Education Program, SAPI, participated in a meaningful and enriching educational field trip to the University of Costa Rica (UCR). This carefully planned experience served as a powerful extension of the life skills curriculum, offering students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in real-world settings.
Throughout the day, our students practiced essential life competencies such as making informed food choices in a restaurant, navigating public transportation, exploring cultural spaces like a museum, interacting respectfully and effectively with tour guides, and sharing joyful moments with their peers. Each of these situations provided a platform for experiential learning—where theory met practice in a vibrant and supportive environment.
What made this tour particularly impactful was the thoughtful preparation that preceded it. For several weeks, our educators worked closely with students to equip them with the social and practical skills necessary for a successful outing. Emphasis was placed on respectful communication, appropriate behavior in public settings, and decision-making strategies—ensuring that students could approach each new situation with confidence and independence.
We are incredibly proud of our SAPI students for their enthusiastic participation and the grace with which they embraced each challenge. Experiences like this reaffirm our commitment to holistic education—one that empowers every learner to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
