With the aim of achieving excellence through continuous improvement, at Colegio Arenas Internacional we have implemented a control system through which we programme and plan all activities and actions that are to be carried out, as well as analysing the results and contrasting them with customer satisfaction reports.
This process of planning and establishing improvement schemes allows us provide information relating to the future growth strategy our school and guarantees certain standards and health and safety conditions. In addition, an environmental management system has been included as part of our philosophy for Corporate Social Responsibility.

In the year 2000, we were awarded the Quality Certification ISO 9001 by AENOR, the leading authorisation in quality control systems. This certification guarantees, through means of external audits, compliance with rigorous quality and safety standards regarding the design and implementation of pre-school, primary, secondary and baccalaureate education. Extra-curricular activities, the management of the school dining facilities and the bus service are also included in this system.
The Colegio Arenas has done it again. We are the only schools in the Canary Islands to obtain the certification in Environmental Management ISO 14001:2015. This is an external certification granted in recognition of the effectiveness of the environmental management system implemented in our schools and which was awarded by AENOR (Spanish Association for Standardisation and Certification) as a result of rigorous audits carried out in October 2017 and February 2018.
At Colegio Arenas Internacional we have implanted an Environmental Management System ISO 14001 which affects the entire organisation and is in line with one of our strategic goals - “Education for Sustainable Development”.
AIS Schools are committed to incorporating the principles of quality and environmental control into the management and development of their services. Our belief in these principles has become an integral and vital part of the management of our organisation, which aims to contribute towards environmental protection, sustainable development and the efficient improvement of our procedures and practices.
Annual self-assessments of the entire organisation are carried out in accordance with the European Foundation for Quality Management EFQM, which allow for the systematic identification of areas which require improvement and the creation of appropriate plans for development.
The Quality Control System has been enhanced in order to provide clearer guidelines for all members of staff and thus allow for the continuous improvement of education, greater student support and a general improvement of all services provided by our organisation.
