We are currently an IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) Candidate School. This means we are in the process of authorization by the International Baccalaureate to offer the IB Diploma Programme. As a candidate school, we are working closely with the IB to ensure that all required standards, teacher training, curriculum planning, and assessment structures are fully aligned with IB expectations. Once authorized, our students will complete the IB Diploma Programme assessments, which include both internal assessments and externally moderated examinations administered by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). The IB Diploma is a rigorous, internationally recognized qualification that prepares students for entry into universities worldwide.

We strive to provide an inclusive and supportive learning environment that recognizes and responds to individual learning differences. For students with specific learning differences such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, teachers provide differentiated instruction and structured, step-by-step teaching approaches. In mathematics, this may include the use of concrete materials, visual models, guided practice, scaffolded problem-solving strategies, and additional time where appropriate. Where relevant, students may be offered reasonable classroom accommodations, such as adjusted tasks, alternative ways of demonstrating understanding, or modified pacing.
Yes, we work with specialized experts who support us in meeting diverse learning needs, particularly in the area of gifted education. Our approach is guided by the Schoolwide Enrichment Model, which focuses on identifying and developing students’ strengths and talents through differentiated instruction, enrichment opportunities, and project-based learning. Rather than separating students from their peers, we aim to provide appropriate challenge and extension within the learning environment, supported by expert guidance and teacher training.
No. For students who are not yet fluent in our language of instruction, we do not offer separate pull-out or additional language classes. This is intentional, as our program is designed around a full immersion model. In a full immersion environment, students acquire the language naturally through consistent exposure across all subjects and daily interactions. Language development happens in meaningful academic and social contexts rather than in isolation. Our teachers are trained to scaffold instruction, differentiate learning, and provide in-class language support to ensure that students can access the curriculum while developing fluency.
The school opens at 8:00, but the official start time varies by educational level. Kindergarten begins at 9:45, primary school at 9:25, and secondary and Gymnasium students start at 8:45. – Classes finish at 16:30. The school remains open until 18:00 to provide supervised after-school care and activities.
Yes, the school provides lunches, which are included in the school fee. Students also receive healthy snacks throughout the day. For secondary and Gymnasium students, lunch is provided at a nearby cantina, with the cost subsidized by the school.
Each day, students may choose between a vegetarian and a meat-based menu option. We also accommodate students with allergies and specific dietary requirements, ensuring that safe and appropriate alternatives are provided where possible. Families are encouraged to inform the school of any special dietary needs in advance so that suitable arrangements can be made.
