The development of values and character is fostered through pastoral care and group supports.
Academic Support (Reinforcement) provides extra lessons for pupils who need help in certain subjects and to prevent difficulties in the teaching-learning process. Individual development, motivation and learning styles are taken into account. In Pre-school, activities ensure an appropriate academic level in Spanish, English and Maths, delivered during school hours or via guided homework. In Primary, pupils can receive extra lessons in English, Spanish and Maths from their subject teachers, with Saturdays' Maths Club run by Grade 9 pupils. In Bachillerato, the curriculum includes math, English, Spanish, physics, French, history and geography (6th grade), natural sciences (7th-8th), and biology (9th-10th).
SGS teaches Spanish, English and French with reading, writing and oral presentation skills developed in all three languages. Spanish and English are taught as international academic languages, with the objective that pupils can pursue study and work in either or both languages; French is taught as a foreign language. Pupils begin learning English in Pre-kinder and French in 3rd grade, and pupils graduate with a B2 DELF level, enabling the option to apply to French universities.
