Colegio Alemán Córdoba

Colegio Alemán Córdoba is an IB World School authorised for the Primary Years Programme (PYP / PEP) and the Diploma Programme (DP). The school explicitly states it is the only school in Córdoba offering two IB programmes. The DP follows the IB's standard six-group structure and includes the three core elements (TOK, Extended Essay, CAS). The IB programme is supported by official IB documentation policies on Admissions, Assessment, Academic Honesty and Language.

Colegio Alemán Córdoba is a trilingual school: Spanish (institutional language), German (introduced from age 3, with Vergleichsarbeit A1 in 4th grade, Vergleichsarbeit A2 in 1st year of Secondary, and Deutsches Sprachdiplom 1 B1 in 3rd-4th year of Secondary), and English (introduced from age 4, with GESE Trinity College London Grade 3 A2 in 5th grade and Preliminary for Schools B1 in 3rd-4th year of Secondary). Languages are taught as cultural products to enable students to think and produce in each language and to understand other peoples in their entirety. Intercultural exchange travel to Brazil, Germany and England supports the language programme.

The school's educational principles are rooted in IB philosophy: a student-centred, inquiry-based approach in which students develop independent thinking, explore the world with curiosity and express themselves creatively. The institution's stated goal is to inspire young minds to achieve excellence, take responsibility and pursue lifelong learning as part of a committed international community.

Colegio Alemán Córdoba's stated institutional ethos centres on academic excellence, intercultural competence, collaborative learning and social responsibility. The school identifies as a community with multicultural objectives and a plurilingual approach, where the encounter and diversity of cultures play a primary role in the educational project.

The Sport AGs (sports clubs) at Colegio Alemán Córdoba include initiation sports (Sport und Spiel AG), athletics (Leichtathletik AG), rhythmic gymnastics (Rhythmische Gymnastik AG), swimming (Schwimmen AG), football (Fußball AG), handball (Handball AG) and hockey (Hockey AG). The school also operates an Escuela de Verano (summer school) for children aged 3-12 with aquatic, recreational, sporting and outdoor activities, with more than 50 years of history.

The campus, located at Recta Martinoli 6230 esq. Neper in Argüello (Córdoba), has been developed over more than a century. The current Argüello site was inaugurated in 1966; a swimming pool was built in 1967, the Kindergarten building in 1969, the Primary school in 1972 and the gymnasium / SUM in 1978. The covered indoor pool (natatorio) has approximately 1,000 m² of covered surface, with a reception area, changing rooms, an infirmary, a semi-Olympic main pool and a children's pool.

Colegio Alemán Córdoba is the only school in Córdoba authorised to deliver two of the four IB programmes (PYP and DP). The school is also part of the global network of German Schools Abroad (Deutsche Auslandsschulen), with participation in Vergleichsarbeit and Deutsches Sprachdiplom external exams.
