Sports

Physical education and sports are an essential component of our students ´training.  We promote regular and systematic practice of physical and sports activities to achieve a better personal and social development.  We stimulate a healthy lifestyle.

Through different activities and sports such as hockey, rugby, football, volleyball, and athletics, our students learn motor skills, body control and to acquire self-commitment and individual achievement attitudes.  Sports also promote core values ​​and social skills including self-confidence, teamwork, communication, inclusion, discipline, respect and fair play.

We encourage students to understand the importance of participating, and making efforts and of minimizing the idea of winning or losing as the only goal.  We seek they establish a close connection while they spend their leisure and spare times surrounded by natural environments.

We have a team of experienced professionals both in education and sports.

In our campus we have an artificial hockey field, two grass hockey fields, two rugby fields, twelve volleyball grass courts and two multipurpose sports areas. 

Apart from the curricular activities, we have sports events twice a year, the "Interhouses" and "Sports", which take place at our Tortuguitas campus and where students, grouped into four "houses", compete in the different sports played at school.

Also, as we are members of two private institutions´ associations, A.D.E. (Sports Association for Students) and ACoBi (Bilingual Schools Association), our students participate in the large number of intercollegiate sport tournaments they offer.

We also organize:

  •      cultural-sports tours to know different places and cultures, build friendships and deepen knowledge of history and geography of the locations.
  •        camp-outs in different parts of the country to develop outdoor activities in full contact with nature.
  •        exchange programs with The Grange School, Chile, and hosting foreign delegations from Chile, U.S.A, Canada, South Africa, England, etc.
