Colegio San Marcos

St. Mark's College is a secular, bilingual institution that promotes an integral education covering intellectual, moral, spiritual, and physical dimensions. It emphasizes the development of autonomy, security, and confidence, while fostering values such as respect, solidarity, and democratic participation. The school seeks to create "bridges" between cultures, encouraging students to become informed, motivated individuals who respect intercultural diversity.

The school offers a bilingual (Spanish-English) curriculum across all levels, with French introduced as a second foreign language in the secondary school. The secondary programme spans six years and offers three orientations in the final cycle: Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Economics and Administration. The curriculum is enriched by international programmes, including the IB Diploma and Cambridge University pathways, alongside a focus on sports and technology.

Students are prepared for university and professional life through a rigorous bilingual curriculum that includes the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma and various Cambridge University certifications, such as the IGCSE, ICE, and the First Certificate in English. Secondary students also have the opportunity to earn French language accreditation through the DELF exams and IT certifications from the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN). The school aims to form critical, flexible, and socially responsible leaders for the 21st century.

The school maintains an orientation team and provides tutoring services to support student development. It emphasizes personalized attention through small group work, allowing teachers to guide students according to their individual learning rhythms and needs.

The admissions process begins with a formal request for a vacancy, followed by an interview with the directors of the relevant level. Both parents and the student must attend the interview, where the school's pedagogical project and values are explained. Applicants must provide previous academic reports, and those from non-bilingual institutions are required to take an English proficiency exam. Final enrollment requires the submission of various documents, including identification, health certificates, and proof of debt clearance from the previous school.

The school operates on a full-day schedule across its levels. The academic year begins following a registration process in the preceding months, with specific materials and information provided to families in January. Throughout the year, the calendar includes various academic events, international examinations, and extracurricular activities.

The school operates across three distinct buildings in Monte Grande: one for the Initial Level, one for Primary, and one for Secondary. Campus facilities include multimedia rooms, a science laboratory, an informatics laboratory, and a digital platform. Sports infrastructure features fields with synthetic grass, and the school provides library services and specialized rooms for art and video.

The school offers a wide range of activities to enrich the student experience, including sports such as hockey, rugby, and athletics, with participation in the Asociación Deportiva Estudiantil. Students engage in various events such as open classes, concerts, literary competitions, and math olympiads. Additionally, the school organizes study trips, solidarity projects, and workshops to foster leadership, creativity, and social responsibility.
