The Ballena calendar

There's Always Something to Celebrate.

Throughout the year, Ballena families come together for performances, cultural celebrations, student showcases, and plenty of reasons that have nothing to do with a report card. Some events put students center stage. Others bring families together around food, music, and tradition.

For students, these are often the days they remember most. For parents, they are a chance to spend an evening with the families their kids see every day.

Through the Year

A Few Ballena Favorites.

Two students perform traditional dance in colorful Costa Rican costumes

The Talent Show

Music, dance, theater, comedy, and whatever else students have been practicing all term. Guitar, ukulele, drums, a brand-new joke. Families fill the room and cheer for every act.

Cultural Celebrations

Costa Rican holidays and traditions are an important part of the school year, alongside celebrations that reflect the cultures families bring with them.

Expeditions Showcase

After a big expedition or field experience, students get to share what they saw, learned, researched, or made with families and the rest of the school.
