There is a history of children walking to school in groups that dates back to the 1880s. The tradition means that elementary school children become responsible and capable by the time they've reached 5th or 6th grade. The older children lead the younger children in what has become a sustainable practice.

Walk, bike, or public bus. They do not have a yellow bus service that takes students for school for free. Most walk. At least this is how it is in Jaco Beach. They also have a morning shift and evening shift for public school. Some students go early and some late.
Club activities occur after school.
