The dress uniform and the sports tracksuit are mandatory across all levels. The uniform is worn with pride and promotes belonging to a community of academic and humane excellence, while also supporting equality, discipline, and expressions of respect. Uniform is compulsory from Infantil through Bachillerato; however, 2º Bachillerato students are exempt from wearing the uniform, though they must follow the school's dress code.
The school operates an in-house kitchen and dining service with a Mediterranean, balanced, and healthy menu prepared by our nutritionist. Menus use fresh, seasonal ingredients and include calculations of calories, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, with age-appropriate portions and allergen information for each dish; we accommodate allergies and intolerances and tailor menus for high-performance athletes. All plans include recommended evening meals.
