Colegio Parque de España is a secondary school in Rosario, on Av. del Huerto, «de titularidad mixta española y argentina» (jointly owned by Spain and Argentina). According to the school, the educational cooperation project began in 1985, and in 2023 the school celebrated 30 years of work. Studies last five years (curso) under two curricula at once: «Nuestros alumnos reciben enseñanzas del currículo español y argentino» (our students are taught the Spanish and Argentine curricula). After year 3 all students receive the Spanish ESO certificate (Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria, compulsory secondary education) free of charge, and after year 5 two diplomas: the Argentine Bachiller Orientado from the Ministry of Education of Santa Fe province and the Spanish Bachiller from the Spanish Ministry of Education. Upper-year tracks: economics and management, natural sciences, social sciences. English is the first foreign language and Portuguese the second, with native-speaker assistants (auxiliares de conversación) and language trips to the Spanish-Brazilian Miguel de Cervantes school in São Paulo and to the United Kingdom. The school is part of the Aula del Futuro network of the Spanish INTEF institute. According to the school, the best graduates can receive scholarships at Spanish universities under agreements of the Consejería de Educación (the Spanish education ministry office). The school is led by a Spanish and an Argentine director. The language of instruction is inferred from the fact that all of the school's pages are written in Spanish, while English and Portuguese are named as foreign languages.

MEFPDMinistry of Education, Vocational Training and Sports of Spain
A school of the Spanish education system abroad: run by the Spanish state, or a private Spanish school supervised by the ministry, or a school under an agreement with the ministry. The curriculum is Spanish, and leavers receive the Spanish certificate. Every such school is named in Spain's state register of schools, each with its own code.
What the badge means for this school. This is a Spanish school abroad, and that can be checked in Spain's state register. The entry is not a quality inspection: a school is on the register as part of the Spanish system, not as the outcome of an assessment. The curriculum and the certificate are Spanish. What other programmes the school offers, and what it charges, are on its own website. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →Spanish programme
The state school programme of Spain, with the Spanish certificates: ESO at 16 and the Bachiller after the baccalaureate.
What this means for this school. The programme is set by the Spanish Ministry of Education, which also names the school in its state register of schools, in the "abroad" section. Leavers receive Spanish qualifications: the Graduado en ESO after secondary school and the título de Bachiller after the baccalaureate. They are used for entry to Spanish universities; in other countries they are matched to local ones.
National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.
Exams and destinations from the school's official website
Exam results PISA: according to the school, students in years 3 and 4 scored well above the Argentine averages in all subjects and above the OECD average in reading. The school gives no scores.
Where leavers go: Universitat Ramon Llull
The school names a graduate who received the best record of the Faculty of Communication and International Relations of Universitat Ramon Llull in Barcelona and a scholarship from the Blanquerna foundation. According to the school, the best-performing graduates can receive scholarships at Spanish universities under agreements of the Consejería de Educación; the school also helps with the paperwork for scholarships at Argentine universities. The school does not publish overall university admission statistics.

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.
