Miss Carrie’s (Nosara Playhouse)

Miss Carries. One of the private schools in nosara.

GRADES

WEBSITE
https://www.nosaraplayhouse.com/

OVERVIEW
The fact their website lists Margaret, the resident pet pig as school principal, and Cleo the cat, and dogs Pirata and Mutley as heads of security, tells you a lot about the Nosara Playhouse. Miss Carrie’s is about arts, theater, and above all, play and adventure, which is precisely what the school founder believed all forms of education should entail. While Nosara Play House still places significant emphasis on academic learning, the curriculum is intertwined with vocational activities such as hiking, waterfall trips, magical mystery tours, the occasional fiesta, and drama.

PHILOSOPHY
Nosara Playhouse describes itself as “a magical place where theater, arts and recreation are woven throughout the academia to create an imaginative space for all types of learners.” By providing an environment where they feel welcome, heard, respected and trusted, Nosara Playhouse aims to empower children to grow up confident, happy, successful, and passionate about learning.
