Secondary Education

Obligatory Secondary Education reaches from 12 to the 16 years and goes along with adolescence of the students. This is frequently a disconcerting and also a emotional stage frequently where students start the first steps to the rest of their lives: the search to their own identity – a great effort to understand the world around them- that will contribute them to became secure adults.

For that reason the academic curriculum, methodology, activities and programmes of Colegio Internacional Torrequebrada are focusing on optimasiong on rich and educational opportunities that this stage offers. That’s why there is a combination of academic discipline that looks for the true comprehension of the fundamental principles and the capacity to apply them in new contexts through symbolic languages and experiences, to promote social abilities and emotional intelligence through a programme of coaching and personal training. The aim is to have a place where students are equal, being able to share their own experiences from freedom, tolerance and respect.

These values, together with responsibility and self-discipline will be a true skill for the future. People will become innovators and critics, and also capable to express their ideas, to orientate their actions towards well defined objectives, to establish commitments and to work efficiently with others in a Plural, global and interactive world.

The objective of the school – The trialanguage project, English, French and Spanish – reaches the maximum development at this stage were communication is a necessity and a tool for the student. As well as sports activities are the ultimate expression of a different intelligence that needs to be cared for and developed as any another, which contributes a behaviour pattern and complements the social development in the classroom.
