Colegio de la Providencia is a private Catholic school in Bella Vista run by Fundación Nuestra Señora de Lourdes: the Doña Luna kindergarten has been open since 1995, the primary school since 1997, the secondary school since 2003, and the special education school Tesoros de la Providencia since 2013. Today the kindergarten has 140 children from two to five years old, the primary school more than 250 pupils and the secondary school 260. The school rests on five areas - "castellano, inglés, arte, informática, deportes" - and its lists of learning materials for the primary stage come out as English booklets from the first to the sixth year. Tesoros works "bajo el marco de un Colegio de Educación Especial Integrado": it has its own classes with individual teaching, but breaks, celebrations, art and sport are shared with all the stages. Every class from the fifth primary year to the sixth secondary year goes away to camp - Tandil, Córdoba, Talamaya, Las Grutas, Mendoza, Litoral, Salta, Patagonia. The school publishes neither its fees, nor its admission requirements, nor its teaching staff.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
Cambridge · authorised programmeCambridge counts the school as one of its centres, while the school itself mentions Cambridge on no page of its site: English is spoken of there only as one of its areas, on a par with Spanish, art, computing and sport.

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. Which stages - from the early years programme for three-year-olds up to A-Level - this school is approved for is not stated here.

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.
