Although it had to interrupt its work twice in those early days, due to the World Wars, the German community in Costa Rica made great efforts to have its own educational institution again, which is open to students of all nationalities up to the present. There are also a smattering of students whose parents came from other countries of Europe as well as from the United States, Colombia, Venezuela, and other countries of the American Continent. There is a scholarship program by which a certain number of students of high academic performance, with no German-related background, that previously attended other schools in Costa Rica, can enter in the 5th grade, every year.
