Leaders of positive action
Our students can harmoniously develop all their leadership abilities to assume and face personal challenges, guide their lives in pursuit of their own and common good, and positively impact society.

We have modular subjects that allow students to deepen into specific content according to their interests and the possibility of choosing when to take them.

Internationalization
Our curriculum is designed under international standards. Our students can obtain an internationally valid diploma accredited by Cognia.
In addition, we offer our students international experiences such as exchanges, competitions and summer camps, which allow them to develop leadership skills in a global context.
International Programs & Certifications
Advance Placement Program (AP)
A College Board Program that offers students the opportunity to take courses with a higher level of demand to reach the level of specialization in their area of interest and stand out in the admissions process of international universities.
AP courses allow academically prepared students to pursue college-level study while still in college, earning them a globally recognized AP International Diploma (APID).

The Highlands High pedagogical curriculum is made up of three main types of subjects:
ADVANCING
They provide accelerated knowledge and higher-order thinking skills and strengthen attitudes to perform successfully at the university level.
SPECIALIZATION
These subjects personalize the curriculum and meet the needs and talents of each student, preparing them for their professional training.
RC FORMATION
They closely accompany the students towards a comprehensive harmonious development and give them the necessary tools to be leaders of positive action. They have the Regnum Christi formation seal.
Student Counseling
We will have a counselling department dedicated to accompanying students and their families in discovering their professional path and, consequently, their university profile. The counsellors will accompany the students in the application processes for admission to national and international universities, inside and outside our Network of Universities, and choose their professional orientation.
Christian Service Leadership
Through social pastoral care, we seek to contribute to the spiritual formation of our students, instilling Christian human values so that they become great leaders who impact with their authenticity and commitment to positive action.
