The secondary level was inaugurated in 1961 to integrate students into official education, and the first class of National Bachelors graduated in 1964. Since 1996, St. Alban's has offered a bilingual Bachillerato, incorporating English-language content to prepare students for Cambridge exams. The curriculum is bilingual throughout the secondary and progresses toward Cambridge Advanced Level Examinations in Form VI. All students sit seven IGCSE subjects and at least three AS/A Cambridge subjects to earn the Cambridge International Examinations Diploma and the national secondary certificate. The secondary is organized into Middle School (years 7–9) and Senior School (years 10–12) with dedicated laboratories, a computer lab, and library.
The St. Alban's community is connected with ESSARP, Cambridge Assessment International Education, ENVISION Global Young Leaders Conference, ESU, and the Old Philomathian Club – Club San Albano, as well as the Argentine Cricket Association and EPEA. Student exchanges are hosted by the school; there is no formal exchange program, but hosting students from other schools and staying with families abroad is valued. Field trips and cross-curricular experiences are organized in Geography, Biology, and History, with a biennial guided visit to Buenos Aires. Students participate in interschool events such as forums, creative writing competitions, chess, and mathematics, and regularly take part in MINU Model United Nations, ESU Public Speaking competitions, and ESSARP Singing Festival.
