Colegio Patris

Founded in 1998, the school is inspired by the educational principles of the Schoenstatt Movement. Its mission is to provide an integral education that fosters spiritual, academic, and social growth, emphasizing values such as responsibility, solidarity, respect for life, and environmental stewardship. The educational project aims to help students achieve freedom and a love for knowledge through a deep connection to daily life and community service.

The school offers a bilingual programme from the initial level (starting at age 2) through secondary school. The primary level integrates English into core subjects like science and literature, while the secondary level prepares students for international examinations through seven bilingual subjects and the study of Portuguese. The curriculum emphasizes a synthesis of theory and practice, incorporating technology, mathematics, social sciences, and the arts to prepare students for university and beyond.

Graduates are prepared for global challenges through a bilingual and trilingual (Spanish, English, and Portuguese) education. The school offers five international certifications, including Cambridge IGCSE, FCE/S, AS & A Level, and A.I.C.E., as well as Portuguese language certification through the CUI (UBA). Students are encouraged to develop leadership skills, a sense of service, and a strong academic foundation.

The school emphasizes a personalized educational approach, utilizing small group sizes to provide tailored support for each student's individual needs. The pedagogical model focuses on reflection, the integration of disciplines, and cooperative learning to ensure academic success.

Prospective families are invited to contact the school to request an admission interview. The school maintains limited class sizes to ensure personalized attention and detailed tracking of each student's learning trajectory.

The school operates on a full-day schedule, with classes running from 8:30 to 16:30.

Located on a 7-hectare campus, the school features extensive green areas and natural surroundings. Indoor facilities include a multi-purpose hall (SUM) equipped for volleyball, handball, futsal, and basketball, as well as a professional-level stage for artistic performances. Classrooms are climate-controlled and equipped with projectors, audio systems, and computers, complemented by personal lockers for students and a contemporary dining hall with panoramic views of the campus.

The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including 12 sports and 9 art workshops. These programmes are designed to foster creativity, physical development, and teamwork, with specific emphasis on music, painting, and theatrical performances. Additionally, the school incorporates campamentismo (camping/outdoor education) as part of its physical and character development focus.
