St. Martin in the Fields School is a private bilingual school in the Belgrano district of Buenos Aires, co-educational and secular. It traces its history to 1982, when the project began inside the White House School of English, while the school itself opened a decade later - first the nursery and primary sections, then the secondary. Enrolment starts at the age of two and runs to year five of the secondary school; since 2025 Italian has been added to the official programme as a third language - in the nursery, in years one to four of the primary school and in the secondary school. By the end of school pupils sit the international examinations of the University of Cambridge: ICE, IGCSE, and also AS and A Level with the option of the full AICE diploma. The school has its own "campito" for the nursery's day camps, annual residential camps and trips around the country, an Oxford-Italy programme and an exchange with St. Luke's School in Connecticut that has run since 2009. The school does not publish pupil numbers or its teaching staff.

About the fees Fees are paid in eleven monthly payments in advance, from February to December. A solidarity education fund of 85,000 ARS a month is added to the monthly instalment and is compulsory. The invoice falls due on the 5th: from the 5th to the 10th there is a surcharge of 5 per cent, from the 10th to the 20th one of 10 per cent, and after that interest at the ARCA rate. If a month's payment is outstanding the family loses all discounts, and the pupil is not admitted to the international examinations or to extracurricular activities that are paid for separately. The school warns that the amounts may change if staff salaries change, if new taxes are introduced or if the cost of teaching itself rises. The monthly payment for 2026, including the compulsory solidarity fund, runs from 472,642 ARS for Sala de 2 to 1,651,913 ARS for years 3-5 of the secondary school; there are eleven payments a year, from February to December.
Admissions Admission begins with an interview request form on the website; the school then holds meetings and decides on a place. It asks the family beforehand to answer for itself which values it wants to see reflected in the school and by what actions the school embodies those values, and says that it reviews the conceptual axis of its own project every year. A matrícula is paid on enrolment, and a re-enrolment fee for those who were already at the school the previous year; a place may be given up in writing without loss of money until 15 November, and if the school announces a change of fees after that date the place reservation is refunded in full less 5 per cent for administrative and banking costs.
Stages and year groups Grades Sala de 2 - 5º año de Secundaria. A nursery from two to five (Sala de 2, Sala de 3, Sala de 4, Sala de 5, with a full-day option for Sala de 2, 3 and 4), a primary school from year one to year seven and a secondary school from year one to year five. In the final years of the secondary school pupils sit University of Cambridge examinations, and pupils in years six and seven of the primary school and years one and two of the secondary school go on annual study trips.

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 8 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.
