Dual diploma
At our school we are committed to an International Education, which is why we offer the possibility of taking the American Dual Baccalaureate, an official programme of international validation of high school diplomas which allows students to obtain two simultaneous qualifications: the Spanish Baccalaureate and the American High School Diploma.
The Dual Diploma can be started in the 3rd or 4th
year of compulsory secondary education (ESO) or in the first of the final two years of secondary school (Bachillerato).
Students of the Dual Diploma only have to take 6 subjects to obtain the American qualification.
Of these 6 subjects, 4 are compulsory and 2 are elective, which allows students to take subjects of considerable interest that are not found in the European syllabus and provide extra motivation for students, enriching their vocabulary in subjects that they would not normally study in English: Digital Photography, Criminology, Psychology, etc.
The program is taught entirely in English but goes far beyond simply
learning the language. Students think and work in English, take part in
lectures and can communicate daily with native teachers, take part in live
sessions with other students and defend themselves independently in
English, thereby increasing their confidence and skill.
Technology immersion results in mastery of the most advanced
technologies in virtual learning. Students play an active role, set their
own learning pace and are responsible for building their knowledge and
playing the leading role in their own training process. Virtual education
develops critical thinking and research and information-analysis skills.
Students play a more active role in their own learning process, as they not
only receive instruction from the teacher but also learn through the
process of searching for information, self-reflection and dierent
activities that they carry out on their own and in cooperation with others.
We educate our students in a comprehensive way by promoting a solid bilingual academic education based on values.
