Stages of Education

AISGroup Schools are a group of non-government funded, non-denominational, private education centres which offer formal, bilingual (Spanish-English) education programmes for students aged from 6 months old to the final year of Baccalaureate Education.

Our schools employ teaching methods which allow students to become “active protagonists” in their own education and apply an international style of methodology based on the guidelines set out by the International Baccalaureate (IB): the Primary Years Programme (PYP) in Preschool and Primary Education, the Middle years Programme (MYP) in CSE and the Diploma Programme in Baccalaureate Education.


 

NURSERY
6 months to 3 years

  • Flexible timetable for students up to 24 months old.
  • Daily contact with the English language.
  • Early stimulation to develop hearing, sight, motor and linguistic skills and musical ability.

 

PRESCHOOL EDUCATION
3 to 6 years old

  • We help students to develop their abilities, skills and sensorimotor functions.
  • Half of the classes are taught in English each day.
  • Emotional education and reading and writing skills.

 

PRIMARY EDUCATION
6 to 12 years old

  • Learning stage based on active methodology.
  • Students do not learn English, but instead learn “in English” and begin to study French, German and Chinese.
  • SEL Programme, “learning by doing”.

 

SECONDARY EDUCATION
12 to 16 years old

We offer our students a rich programme of study and activities, together with the chance to investigate and gain experience that will help them to grow and encourage them to be independent, develop healthy habits, values, ideals and their own personal philosophy of life.

 

BACCALAUREATE
16 to 18 years old

The curriculum at Colegio Arenas culminates with the Diploma Programme (DP). This is a programme of academic excellence which forms part of the International Baccalaureate and is recognised as a benchmark standard of education due to its wide dissemination and acceptance by the most prestigious universities in the world, and supported by its rigorous external examinations.
