Foundation and History

The school was founded in 1963 by Woodson Brown and his wife Sonia, in Zapote in order to provide an American college preparatory education in Costa Rica. It started off as a small institution, and has since grown into a large school enrolling approximately 800 students. It has since had two other campuses, one built partially from the old United States Embassy in Escazu, and as of 2016, the (current) one in San Rafael de Alajuela. CDS is a member of the Association of the Association of American Schools in Central America (AASCA).[1]
