Our commitment to provide the best education possible to its students has led to our alliance with the International Baccalaureate.
The globalised world in which our students will develop, both professionally and personally, makes the acquisition of certain skills and attitudes a key factor for their success. These include communication, investigation and self-management skills, together with the development of an international mentality, as promoted by the International Baccalaureate Programme.
The AIS Group commitment to provide the best education possible to its students has led to our alliance with the prestigious and world renowned educational organisation, International Baccalaureate, with a view to leading the way for international studies in the Canary Islands.
El Colegio Arenas es el único de Canarias que ofrece al alumnado el continuo de programas de educación internacional del IB (Destinado a alumnos de 3 a 18 Años). Cuenta con tres programas educativos, cada uno vinculado a una etapa diferente: el PEP en Infantil-Primaria, el PAI en Secundaria, y el PD en Bachillerato.
La escolarización en nuestro Colegio implica que el alumnado de Educación Primaria (PEP) se centre en los conocimientos, la comprensión conceptual, las habilidades, las disposiciones y la acción en los que se apoya la Secundaria (PAI), que, a su vez, prepara al alumnado para afrontar los requisitos del Bachillerato (PD).
