Academia Tica and the communityAcademia
Tica is actively involved with the community of Coronado. Our philosophy
of teaching believes that a student not only should strive for a Travel
and Learn but a Travel and Help concept.
Ever since it’s beginning we have been placing students that take
part in the school’s Internship or Volunteering Programs in the
local community.
Urban
development plan initiated by the Academia Tica.
More recently a project initiated by the school with collaboration with
the local municipality brought a group of urban development professionals
and their students from Germany to Coronado to start an urban development
plan for the county. This group came to us from the Technical University
at Hamburg-Harburg - Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg. http://www.tuhh.de/
They stayed in the area, met with many local leaders and prepared recommendations
in the form of a regional plan for the development options that Coronado
has for the near future.
The
name given to the proyect by the German group is:
Regionales Entwicklungskonzept für den Bezirk Vázquez de
Coronado, Costa
Rica
Other examples that show how the school participates in the growth of the community of Coronado are the following:
-
Hiring local teachers.
-
Using services for its operations from companies based in the county.
-
Using local student transportation services.
-
Hiring local help for its security, building and grounds maintenance.
-
Using local copy centers, print shops, bakeries, restaurants.
-
Taking its students to local tourist spots.
