Escuela del Jacarandá has been working in the Núñez district since 1992: it began as a kindergarten for thirteen children, opened a primary school in 1996 and a secondary school in 2023, and now takes children from twelve months and carries them to the age of eighteen. The school is private and secular, with a double session at all three stages and strengthened English: immersion begins in the three-year-old group, in the fifth grade children sit the Trinity oral examination and in the seventh the Cambridge PET for Schools. The jardín and the primary school occupy two buildings in the same block; among the primary school's specialist subjects are library, music, art, robotics and philosophy, while the sporting half of the day, from the senior kindergarten group to the seventh grade, takes place at a neighbouring club. Away camps run right through the school: from a single night for the two-year-olds to three-day camps in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades and a week-long trip for the seventh grade to Ascochinga in Córdoba Province. The secondary school has two specialisations, "Economía y Administración, con especialización en Gestión del Emprendedurismo" and "Energía y Sustentabilidad, con especialización en Tecnologías Sustentables", twelve hours of English a week and four hours of physical educati. The school gives neither tuition fees nor additional charges; it does not publish a list of universities, examination results or a list of clubs either.

About the fees The school does not state its tuition fees: there is no section on fees on its site at all, and an application is made through the form for an entrance interview. The only thing it states separately is where the uniform is bought: "JNK (Solo Secundaria) Conde 955, Caba", "Ticky (Nivel Inicial y Primaria) Virrey Loreto 2468", "My Home (Nivel Inicial y Primario)" - without any sums.
Admissions Admission goes through an application for an entrance interview, a separate one for each stage: the "Informes e Inscripción" page gives three forms, "Secundaria Solicitud Entrevista de Admisión", "Primaria Solicitud Entrevista de Admisión", "Jardín Solicitud Entrevista de Admisión". For entry the school asks for a medical record and a list of the people allowed to collect the child: "jacaranda-ficha-medica", "jacaranda-autorizados-a-retirar".
Stages and year groups Grades Sala de 1 - 5to año del Nivel Secundario. The school declares one continuous stage "desde los 12 meses hasta los 18 años" (the "Historia" and "Ejes Transversales" pages). The jardín runs from Sala de 1 to Sala de 5, the primary school ends at séptimo grado, and the secondary school consists of "dos años de ciclo básico y tres de la especialización". The secondary school opened in March 2023: "2023 Apertura del Nivel Secundario". Which year of the secondary school it is graduating now, the school does not say.

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.

Campus: Two buildings in the same block: the primary school was built out gradually, and in 2007 the kindergarten moved into a separate building put up for it in the same block. Among the primary school's specialist subjects are a library and a computer room with robotics. The school holds the sporting half of the day away from its own buildings: from the five-year-old group to the seventh grade children travel to a neighbouring club for sport. There is a school dining hall with separate menus for the kindergarten and for the primary school. What the school does not give: the sections about the spaces of the kindergarten and of the primary school do exist on the site and do open, but they hold no text - only a heading - so the school gives no list of rooms in words.

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.
