In line with our Latin motto, “Semper Altius,” we aspire for each student graduating from our schools to reach the highest possible level of integral formation development and always strive to be their highest version.
Since 2022, our school has held Cognia certification, an international nonprofit organization that provides quality assurance for schools, school districts, and educational service providers worldwide.
