The school operates in Comodoro Rivadavia and belongs to ACRICANA, the Argentine-North American binational centre active in the city since 1963; the centre itself is a non-profit civil association run by an elected executive committee. Teaching is bilingual, in Spanish and English, and the stages run from the first year of primary school to the final year of secondary, both stages lasting six years and both full-day: primary from 7:50 to 16:00, secondary from 7:40 to 16:10. In the senior years the school prepares pupils for the University of Cambridge IGCSE and in the final year enters them for examinations in mathematics, biology, history, art and design, English as a second language, Spanish, nutriti, environmental management and a third language; the secondary stage has an emphasis on economics and the management of organisations. There is an educational guidance service headed by a psychologist, which supports the choice of a profession and afterwards follows how leavers fare at university. The school does not state the universities its leavers go on to, its examination results or its number of pupils, and it does not state the cost of tuition either. The school has no working website of its own: the domain does not resolve to an address.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: IGCSE (ages 14-16). IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
