Our vision is to create a unified learning community that inspires all involved to make a difference in a school that fosters a culture of can-do, challenge, and respect for others.
Our mission is to provide a high-quality education to all students through a challenging 21st century curriculum, which promotes high standards, progress and equality of opportunity for all. Through interdisciplinary studies in a challenging, tolerant and multicultural environment, we strive to create independent and autonomous learners.
Offering full English language immersion, a strong emphasis on Spanish language learning, Canarian literature and culture, plus the study of a third language at the age of 11, enables our pupils to become global citizens of the future.
We believe in the importance of developing the whole child; fostering emotional and physical well-being and celebrating individual talents in a supportive, safe and caring environment. We want all pupils to enjoy coming to our school, for our pupils to learn to live the core values of the school and to believe that they can be or achieve whatever they aspire to.
BRITISH INTERNATIONALEDUCATION SINCE 1972
We have been educating students for more than 50 years to enable them to become responsible, informed and active citizens of the future.
