Colegio Mecenas is a private school with a primary and a secondary stage: the primary runs from grade 1 to grade 6, the secondary up to year 6 and awards a bachelor certificate in one of two tracks, natural sciences or economics and management. The school names neuroscience and neuro-psycho-education as its foundation: in primary school a separate weekly session, Brainy Time, runs, where children from grade 1 to grade 6 learn how the link between body, brain and environment works, practise self-regulation and do Brain Gym. On top of the state curriculum the school offers English, art, programming and robotics. In primary school English comes in two forms: a standard one, with preparation for international examinations, and a bilingual one, where English serves as the language for topics in mathematics, natural science and social studies, and pupils prepare for Cambridge examinations. The language of lessons is Spanish: the school follows the state curriculum and writes its pages in Spanish; English serves as the language of subjects only in the bilingual form of primary school, hence Spanish and English as languages of instruction. In secondary school English is intensive, 6 teaching periods a week, with a Cambridge examination; Portuguese is taught as a third language, programming and robotics end with an examination for a certificate of Austral University, and the programme includes humanities subjects, art and philosophy. Among its events the school names open lessons for parents in grades 1-3, the annual musical Mecenas Live on Stage in grades 4-6, study trips, and in secondary school a United Nations simulation, olympiads in mathematics, geography and philosophy, camps, inter-school competitions, the Mecenas Solidario campaign and a micro-entrepreneurship fair.

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.

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.
