Curriculum & results

International Baccalaureate

International education is one of the school's four stated pillars, delivered through the International Baccalaureate, for which it obtained authorisation in 2010. Alongside the IB, the school runs two international programmes of its own. A month-long cultural immersion at a British boarding school in Hastings places students in a fully English-speaking environment with classmates from France, Italy, Korea, China, Japan and elsewhere, and includes a bilingual-competence certificate against the Common European Framework, with English measured before and after the stay. A leadership and entrepreneurship programme in Washington D.C., organised with development banks, the United States Congress, NASA, the Organization of American States, the United States Institute of Peace, Georgetown University and George Mason University among other partners, is structured as a study visit with a higher-education focus.

Approach · General Curriculum

The school's pedagogical project rests on four pillars: development of the self, entrepreneurship, innovation and international education. Day-to-day life is organised around what the school calls the "tools of love" — adapt, act, be grateful, value, take ownership, accept and respect — a set of principles intended to build a climate of respect and open communication in which academic learning and personal growth reinforce each other. These are carried into practice through initiatives such as the Table Host programme, in which students take a leadership role at their lunch table and look after classmates and teachers, a Life Project strand in which counsellors help students define goals around their own interests and talents, and a house system.

Wellbeing is handled by the Harmony Department, the school's psychology service, staffed by school counsellors and a Wellbeing Coordinator, which runs personalised programmes in socio-emotional skills and conflict resolution. The school has implemented KiVa, the Finnish anti-bullying programme developed at the University of Turku, with its KiVa lessons, digital games and activities, and KiVa teams that monitor, intervene and support affected students. Student "convivencias" and a parents' school complete the pastoral offer, and the school reports rigorous safety arrangements including an emergency and evacuation plan and more than 200 cameras.

Languages

Teaching is in Spanish, with a substantial share of instruction hours delivered in a second language, as the school advertises on its homepage. English is reinforced through a month-long immersion at a British boarding school in Hastings, which ends with a bilingual-competence certificate benchmarked against the Common European Framework and an English assessment taken before and after the stay.
