MIDDLE
 & high SCHOOL

Our Middle and High School programs are designed to be interactive, collaborative, and highly engaging. Our students come from diverse educational backgrounds, and we strive to create a supportive environment where they can explore their individuality while learning the importance of teamwork and respecting their community.

The curriculum for both levels covers essential subjects such as Mathematics, Science, English Language and Literature, Spanish Language and Literature, and Social Studies in both languages. However, as students move into High School, the complexity of the coursework increases, and they are offered a wider range of elective courses, allowing them to specialize and prepare for university or professional life. This year's electives include Health, Physical Education, and Entrepreneurship, which complement the core subjects.

In Middle School, we focus on helping students build a strong foundation of academic and social skills, supporting them as they transition into adolescence. In High School, we encourage greater independence and responsibility, preparing students to make important decisions about their academic and professional futures.

As a general rule, we do not recommend that families with Middle or High School students move to another country solely for a "cultural experience" or to learn a language. At these stages, students are highly reliant on their peers, and drastic changes to their school and social environments can be challenging to navigate.
