St. Anthony's College, also known as Instituto San Antonio de Devoto, has been working in the capital's Villa Devoto district since 1996 and occupies three addresses: the kindergarten on Marcos Paz, the primary school on Mcal. Francisco Solano López and the secundaria on Nogoyá. The school describes itself briefly: "Ofrecemos desde 1996 un colegio bilingüe, mixto y laico, con orientación en comunicación. Contamos con Nivel inicial, Primaria y Secundaria". The Little Angels English Kindergarten takes children from age two, and from age five a double shift becomes compulsory - one in Spanish, one in English. The secundaria awards a Bachillerato with a communications emphasis, in two versions: bilingual and with intensified English. All pupils are prepared for the international examinations, although sitting them is not compulsory: in the primary school these are Cambridge English Starters, Movers, Flyers, Key and Preliminary, and in the senior years IGCSE, FCE and CPE. French is compulsory from the sixth grade, with the option of sitting DELF; in the seventh grade a computing examination can be sat at the UTN. The school has signed co-operation agreements with seven universities - Torcuato Di Tella, UADE, UCA, CEMA, Palermo, Belgrano and UCES - and these give pupils open classes, lectures and scholarships. Physical education takes place at the CIRSE club and at the Pipa Gancedo complex: hockey, rugby, football, handball, volleyball and athletics. Optional activities include choir, theatre, taekwondo, swimming, art workshops and musical comedy; each class goes away to a camp once a year. The school publishes neither its number of pupils, nor its teaching staff, nor a list of its own premises; the "Reglamento institucional" page exists on the site and opens empty.

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.

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.
