Real World School
Learner-centered education for children aged 4-18 years
Our innovative approach to learning seamlessly blends academics with the pillars of sustainability and real-world skills.
For families considering life at Ecovilla, education is an important part of the picture. Right next to Ecovilla San Mateo you’ll find the Real World School.
The school is currently home to students from over 25 countries, creating a bilingual and multicultural environment. Children learn in open indoor and outdoor spaces and learn through challenge, experiential and project-based methods.
A key focus of the school is emotional and personal development. Learners are encouraged to feel safe, take ownership of their education and build strong thinking and problem-solving skills. The school’s approach aligns naturally with the lifestyle at Ecovilla: grounded in nature, community and opportunities to grow.
From early 2027, the school will move to a brand-new campus just 150 meters away. The location is surrounded by gardens and jungle, offering plenty of space to learn, explore, play and spend time in nature.
