Our

Our teaching


It goes beyond the classroom and takes in the whole person, encouraging participation and responsible freedom, and fostering dialogue, creativity and teamwork. Observation, analysis, reasoning, making things and reflecting on them are central to how students learn.

Our classrooms are fully equipped: heating and air conditioning, a projector connected to the teachers’ laptops, a sound system and interactive whiteboards. We also use the Acadeu platform, which keeps attendance and marks almost live and within reach of families from their phones.

The school has a laboratory, a computer room, a library, a multi-purpose hall, an assembly hall, a first aid room, an open space for physical education, covered and open playgrounds, a snack bar and a dining room.

What makes us

Different


The first two years are part of the common core; from Year 3 students begin the specialist stage of the programme. Our school adds subjects of its own from the very start of the core years.

Free support lessons

Maths support lessons in Years 1 and 2, free and optional, in the afternoon.

A second foreign language

As well as English, taught by level and with national and international exams such as FIRST, Portuguese is taught from Year 1, accredited by the Universidad Nacional de San Martín.

Tutoring

An assigned tutor keeps the pulse of the class: they follow the group’s academic progress, work on study skills and the school calendar, stay in touch with parents and report to the leadership team.

Subjects added to the

Curriculum


Schools must follow the Ministry of Education curriculum, and each one may choose to add subjects. We add two subjects a year, reaching the greatest number of teaching hours possible for a half-day school.

  • Year 1Portuguese and Digital Study Skills
  • Year 2Portuguese and General Knowledge
  • Year 3Portuguese and General Knowledge
  • Year 4Drama and Audiovisual Media — with staging, costumes, script and performance all done by the students — and General Knowledge
  • Year 5Film and Media — students make short films based on what they have studied in Argentine History — and 21st-Century Entrepreneurs

Among our strengths are the levels of English our students reach by working intensively, with twice the usual hours and grouped by level, and the addition of robotics, which brings technology education up to date.
