The school is a distinct choice for members of the English-speaking community in Bogotá, and for children of all nationalities who have, or desire to have, a working knowledge of the English language and curriculum. The school offers Nursery to Year 13 (UK) curriculums in a small, tranquil and rural environment where the average class size is 15 students per teacher.
