Colegio Punta Carretas

Founded in 1967, the school promotes an educational model centered on the child, where play and experience drive a challenging academic program. It emphasizes a bilingual environment that fosters personal excellence, autonomy, and self-discovery within a community built on affection, respect, and close, individualized attention in small groups. The institution integrates neuro-educational principles to ensure learning occurs in an environment of motivation and emotional well-being.

The school offers a bilingual curriculum where students learn both in Spanish and English, following the Cambridge Primary pathway for students aged 5 to 11. The academic program includes the Singapore Math method, which focuses on logical-mathematical thinking, and a multidisciplinary approach to science, covering biology, chemistry, physics, history, and geography. The curriculum also incorporates computational thinking, artistic expression, and physical education, all supported by a focus on social and emotional development.

The school integrates a dedicated psychopedagogy department that provides individual support and conducts workshops at each level. These workshops focus on improving emotional awareness, developing emotional management strategies, and fostering social skills such as empathy, collaboration, and conflict resolution. The school's pedagogical approach is guided by 'Neuro-Heart,' which combines neurosciences with emotional education to support student well-being and motivation.

The admissions process begins with a personal interview to align family expectations with the school's educational proposal. Prospective students must undergo a psychopedagogical assessment conducted by the school's team. Families are required to submit specific documentation, including identification, health and vaccination records, and previous academic reports, in compliance with national education regulations.

The school operates from Monday to Friday, with daily hours from 8:30 to 17:00.

The campus includes specialized learning spaces such as science laboratories, art workshops, and play areas for early childhood education.
