In 1973, Ruth García Gutiérrez, a passionate educator, founded the ABC Kindergarten in Quito in a house on Avenida Los Shyris. Her aim was to offer the community a personalized learning center for the youngest children, designed to develop each child's academic and personal potential. The school is a 100% International Baccalaureate (IB) school and is part of a select group of 265 IB schools worldwide authorized to offer all three IB programs. It emphasizes English as a second language, with French or Italian as a third language, making it a trilingual school.
Student life centers on inquiry-based learning, with a strong sports program and a broad range of extracurricular activities. Arts and music are integrated through specialized programs to foster creativity. Británico FM, the student radio station, provides a platform for creativity and communication. The International Exchange Program offers global learning experiences, and the Eduardo García Espinoza Library supports learning with 100% BI methodology.
