The school has a Talent Classroom (Aula de Talentos) that provides enrichment for students who excel in one or more subjects, with a diagnosis of high ability—simple talents, composite talents, or giftedness. The program uses project-based learning and the multiple intelligences framework to stimulate cognitive abilities and foster creativity. It also supports socio-emotional development and teamwork, and helps students develop study skills and portfolios. The revolving-door approach enables weekly participation in groups with peers who share similar interests and abilities.
The school has clubs and extracurricular activities organized into three areas: sports, cultural, and academic. Cultural activities are included within the complementary activities. For information and inscriptions, contact +593 98 277 1564.
The school runs exchanges with Germany. Students in 9th EGB stay 11 weeks in German cities with host families and attend local schools to strengthen German and prepare for the Sprachdiplom I. A Deportivo exchange sends 7th, 8th, and 10th EGB students to sports schools in Leipzig, Berlin, and Hamburg to participate in championships and clubs. Sommercamp provides a four-week summer experience for 5th, 6th and 7th EGB, with two weeks at a hostel and two weeks living with German host families and attending classes.
Sports are a dedicated area of the complementary activities program, with opportunities to participate in internal championships and sports clubs. The three complementary areas also include cultural and academic activities, enabling students to pursue interests beyond the classroom.
Complementary activities include sports as a category (Deportivas) under which students can join sports clubs and compete in internal events. This supports physical activity as part of students' daily life.
