WELCOME TO 2016-17 SCHOOL YEAR

September is here and that means we are about to start a new school year. This is an important year for our school because we keep up growing and we have a lot of interesting activities coming up.

This year we will have 12 bilingual teachers and 13 bilingual groups. For the first time ALL the ESO Year 1 groups will be bilingual. Here is the distribution of bilingual subjects for each level:

• ESO Year 1: Mathematics, Biology & Geology, Music
• ESO Year 2: Music, Geography and History, Arts, Physics and Chemistry
• ESO Year 3: Biology & Geology, Physics and Chemistry, Citizenship, Technology
• ESO Year 4: Physical Education, Geography & History
• Bachillerato Year 1: Philosophy, Physical Education

With the new Education Law we do not need bilingual subjects in Bachillerato Year 2 (if the students already took two bilingual subjects the previous year). This way the students can devote more time to prepare the final exam for the Diploma (whatever it is...).

As for Language Assistants, this year we share AGAIN our language assistant with the Elementary School in Corrales. It is a shame that the Administration keeps cutting fundings for the bilingual programme. This year our language assistant is Emma Light. Very soon we will post some information about her. A bit of patience, please...

We will have the 3rd edition of our School Exchange with Germany for the Bachillerato Year 1 students. This year we will visit Germany in November and they will come to visit us in May.
