The school is authorised to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. The IB Diploma Programme (DP), for 16–19-year-olds, is a rigorous and balanced educational programme with final examinations that provide breadth and depth of knowledge while developing students physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically. The curriculum includes six subject groups plus core components: Theory of Knowledge, Creativity, Activity and Service, and the Extended Essay. Legamar emphasizes learning experiences beyond the official curriculum, with projects that develop critical thinking, social and communication skills, initiative and entrepreneurship, especially in Secondary and Baccalaureate years, including United Nations models, the Technovation Challenge, RetoTech, Reto 20/30, the First Lego League and olympiads.
Drama, speech and debate, and theatre in English, together with public speaking, are used to develop rational thinking, spoken communication, body language and respect for the opinions of others. An art workshop-laboratory supports exploration of plastic arts. The school's learning spaces include an environmental education classroom and a library, fostering creative and artistic activities.
The Linguistic Project treats bilingualism as the daily coexistence of English and Spanish; in early childhood, learning English is immersive with 50% English and 50% Spanish. The school has bilingual, native professionals and conversation assistants who reinforce oral skills. During school hours, students may prepare for Cambridge English, Goethe Institute German and Delft French certificates, with French and German offered from the first year of Primary Education.
During Secondary Education, students participate in projects organized outside the school by other institutions, including United Nations models, the Technovation Challenge, RetoTech, Reto 20/30, the First Lego League and olympiads. These activities contribute to the development of critical thinking, social and communication skills, initiative and entrepreneurship.
The school collaborates and organises solidarity projects to support various educational, cultural and social institutions, contributing to social progress in local, national and international communities. It also pursues sustainability initiatives through Legamar Sostenible, promoting awareness of recycling, energy saving, reuse and responsible resource use. Emotional and social development programs are integrated to foster responsible citizenship and community engagement.
The Class Councils use an election system to involve students in service and leadership roles such as Spokesperson, Secretary and Coexistence Mediator. These positions carry responsibilities under the tutor and Guidance Department to ensure productive collaboration and positive social relations within the classroom.
The health education programme promotes behaviours that foster health, including eating habits, emotional health and physical education. An Emotional Education programme, run by the Guidance Department, provides tools for self-esteem, empathy, assertiveness, emotion management and social skills.
