OUR MARKED DIFFERENCE

It is our persistence to make of the classroom a playful space, as soon as LUDUS (education and culture) also suggests pleasing desire to learn like a game, discovering to us, surprising to us, communicating to us.

To educate is to lead, to provide with resources that facilitate the way of life. Therefore our effort to guide the students in their problems, taking into account the particular personality of each one, orienting their interests, instructing them in a confidence climate, gathering its restlessness, fomenting the illusions that move to them to flee from the downheart climate that surrounds the present society, and preparing them to confront the difficulties of our time: the unsupportive egoísm, the work absence, whips of the man to the nature, the loss of ethical values.

In this integral formation of the student:

Counseling: the personal attention with interviews that guide, inform and that also allow to the close contact with the parents and educators.
The psicopedagogic Cabinet: some specialists in pedagogy of the School gather data and process technical information of all their students.
The religious service and the spiritual direction: in whole freedom and perfect respect to other beliefs, the ethical values and the spiritual dimension of the man find capacity in the classrooms during the religion classes, in an opened climate dialogue. In addition to it, the School counts on religious service, and organizes coexistence for the students who voluntarily wish to attend them.
The cultural and sport activities (litteras otium cum): outside the academic schedule, the School offers the possibility of developing the sport likings of the students, and organizes forums and conferences on subjects of interest, as well as cultural or recreational visits.
The member students: each course chooses its members (of order, of activities...) that helps to foment the fellowship and solidarity, and who promote the sense of the individual and collective responsibility.

The quality of the professors (doctors many of them), that shares university teaching with the one of the baccalaureate, causes that education be deep and elevated, and urges the intellectual and complete development of the pupils, in the letters, sciences, the arts, the physical education...

Library IX Marques de la Encomienda: Founded on 1.966, the funds of the Library , that surpass the one hundred thousand volumes, promote the pleasure of reading.
On the other hand, the general restlessness of the Center by the culture, in its investigating and publishing work, causes that desire to know be a beautiful imperative for the students.
The lectorate of English: a native professor complements the education of the language by means of the conversation, the theater, the reading...
Computer science: the computer science classes familiarize to the pupils with the language of the present.

The School counts on an ample room of computers for the classes and practices of such discipline.
