Based on sound moral standards and together with granting value to knowledge, speaking truth and acting humbly we promote curiosity, perseverance ,critical thinking , academic rigor and leadership skills.

Our school motto: RECTE FAC. NEC TIME, (Do right – Fear not), is the light in our path.

We follow the National Curriculum and are also an IB School, offering the Diploma Programme to all our senior students, together with other international programmes and different international examinations in English throughout their school life.

Our solid academic programme offers our girls a great opportunity to explore, grow and discover their talents and reach their highest potential in languages, science, history , math, sports and the arts.

Each one of our students is deeply appreciated and we take special interest in their wellbeing and safety in a protective and caring environment. Building strong relationships is at the heart of our school.

We are preparing young girls to face challenges in a dynamic and rapidly changing world with a strong sense of participation, contribution, solidarity, and leadership ready to make a positive impact in society.

Como colegio IB tenemos como meta abrir el mundo de nuestras alumnas, que puedan no solo conocer nuevos lugares, sino culturas y nuevas formas de enseñanza. 
En nuestros diferentes destinos de intercambio las alumnas tienen la posibilidad de experimentar nuevas formas de vida, quedándose, en la mayoría de los casos, en internados y poner en práctica los años de aprendizaje del idioma inglés en el que estarán inmersas. 
Con esta alternativa pueden crear lazos de por vida con alumnas extranjeras y aprender de sí mismas. A crecer en un mundo globalizado, tolerante, con apertura de mente, multicultural y con una mirada futura determinada hacia nuevos desafíos.
