The school delivers the Cambridge IGCSE framework in Year 10 and concludes with an International Baccalaureate Diploma in the final year, supporting entry to universities worldwide. The Primary program uses bilingual, interdisciplinary projects to develop competencies in Spanish and English, with a third language taught as well. The Learning Journey emphasizes five guiding principles, including a bilingual pathway, cross‑disciplinary experiences, and strong academic development. The Life Design Journey supports students in defining life projects, with meetings with professionals and guidance on local and international universities and study experiences abroad. The campus features a site with Kinder and Primary buildings opened in 2019 and a dedicated Sports Field and Sports Pavilion, plus a Community Hub with a Natatorium and Gymnasium/Auditorium.
