Illustration · Buenos Aires
Colegio Jesús María has been running in the centre of Buenos Aires since 1927 and belongs to the congregation Religiosas de Jesús María. The school occupies two interconnected buildings: the pre-school and primary stages at Uruguay 1241, the secondary at Talcahuano 1260. Teaching is bilingual, Spanish and English, with French from the second cycle of primary school and Portuguese in the final year; in the secondary school pupils sit the Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A Level, and also the C1 Advanced exam. The primary and secondary stages are for girls, and since 2025 boys are admitted as well to the multi-age group from 18 months. The school has its own seven-hectare sports ground in Garín, where hockey and volleyball are played and the Copa Jesús María is held. The school does not state its fees or its number of pupils, and it does not give a list of the universities its leavers go on to.

About the fees The school does not state its fees on its website: it has no section on fees, and questions about admission are directed to the separate admissions address admisiones@jmbaires.edu.ar.
Admissions Admission is handled by a separate admissions office at admisiones@jmbaires.edu.ar, and each stage has its own secretary. The primary and secondary stages are for girls; in 2025 the school opened a multi-age group that admits boys as well: "A partir de 2025 se inaugurará una sala multiedad que incorporará varones, dando así inicio a la escolaridad mixta de manera progresiva", from 18 months "con marcha estable" up to three years.
Stages and year groups Grades Sala de 2 - 5° NES (with a multi-age group from 18 months). The school's study plan reads: "NIVEL INICIAL 2 a 5 años... NIVEL PRIMARIO 1° a 6° grado... NIVEL SECUNDARIO Intermedio de articulación a 5° NES". The home page gives the same boundaries: pre-school from 2 to 5 years, primary from 6 to 11, secondary from 12 to 17. The page of the multi-age group, however, lowers the bottom boundary to 18 months; both figures come from the school itself, and both are given as they stand.

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), A-Level (ages 16-18). IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate. A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.

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.
