Our new school, Country Day in Escazu |
Our journey actually began when we headed to the AASSA job fair in Atlanta. Before the job fair we created a zany, introductory video that went viral among the international school recruiters. We had requests for interviews before we had arrived. Then, at the job fair we touted our versatility and passion rather than our experience. We received offers from four different schools and were thrilled to choose CDS in Costa Rica. We are excited about the school's good reputation, the good climate, the safety, and the travel opportunities.
The Country Day School is located in Escazu, a suburb of San Jose. I will teach math and PE, and Ilana will be teaching English literature and writing. Benji and Marina will both be attending the very same middle school and possibly having us as their instructors!
Rascal, our adorable puppy, is looking forward to spending time with the Nalebuff family while we are away. He has requested a menu of Filet Mignon and roasted leg of lamb.
