Colegio La Salle (Asociación Educacionista Argentina)

A Swiss non-profit, working since 1968. Its programmes are among the most widely recognised school programmes in the world. Authorisation is granted stage by stage, so a school with the final stage does not necessarily run the younger ones; which stages this school holds is set out in the line below.

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: DP (ages 16-19). DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate.

The schools of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Hermanos de las Escuelas Cristianas), a Catholic congregation founded in 1686. The institute's own statistics at the end of 2023: 1,154 schools and educational institutions in 78 countries and over 1.16 million pupils. The Argentine schools belong to the Argentina-Paraguay district, which counts its beginning from 1889; the district is run by five organisations, among them Asociación Educacionista Argentina and Fundación La Salle Argentina. The "Obras en Argentina" section lists 26 institutions.

What this means for this school. The network owns or operates the school. Its accreditation and programme authorisation the school obtains separately, in its own name.
