Our Community
Escuela
Santa
Ana
is
a
small
school
located
within
the
gates
of
Rancho
Santana.
Our
little
school
sits
just
steps
away
from
some
of
the
best
surf
in
Central
America,
within
the
gates
of
one
of
the
top
resorts
in
the
area.
The
community
is
family
friendly,
and
the
opportunities
for
surfing
and
being
outdoors
are
about
as
good
as
it
gets.
We
are
surrounded
by
2,700
acres
of
tropical
dry
forest,
with
over
21
km
of
trails
and
access
to
5
private
beaches;
it
is
indeed
a
very
special
place
to
live
and
raise
children.
Our
community
is
truly
special;
it
gives
space
for
children
to
learn
and
grow
in
an
environment
that
supports
a
love
of
nature,
activity,
connection
and
protection
for
the
joys
of
childhood.

months

We
operate
multi-level
classrooms
in
both
our
Lower
and
Upper
School.
We
maintain
small
class
sizes
for
more
individualized
instruction
and
we
limit
enrollment
space
in
order
to
do
that.
We
use
a
variety
of
online
and
in-print
curricula
designed
for
specific
grade
levels
and
multi-age
classrooms.
Our
foundational
curriculum
is
accredited
by
the
Pennsylvania
Board
of
Education
which
allows
for
confidence
in
transitioning
between
international
curricula
and
what
we
do
here
at
ESA.

as
well.
We
value
bilingualism
in
our

and
students,
as
well
as
engagement
in
the

cultural
opportunities
that
surround
the
Ranch.
