ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

A modern approach with traditional values


San Patricio School is a bilingual school that combines best practices in Spanish and English education to create an innovative curriculum. Our students are taught in both Spanish and English before taking additional lessons in either with German or French in Secondary School. The curriculum in Primary and Secondary School is inclusive of the sciences, art, P.E., history, geography, literature, technology, and mathematics as compulsory subjects, which are taught alongside art, sports, and languages.

The Primary School curriculum is comprehensive and prepares students for the broad curriculum at Secondary School. Students are supported in their learning throughout their education at San Patricio and an enquiry-based approach to lessons aids learners ensures pupils understand the content of their lessons and are able to competently apply their knowledge.

San Patricio’s Educational Model encourages skills in: communication, autonomy, and enquiry. In education centred around the three pillars of: academics, sport, and the creative & performing arts, the pedagogical model promotes the development of fundamental skills, including emotional skills, multilingualism, effective leadership. Lessons also integrate more specific skills that are essential in developing well-rounded citizens, such as teamwork, critical evaluation of information, use of communication technologies, public speaking, and time management skills.
