An impressive 20 Proficiency (C2 of the Common European Framework), 28 Advanced (C1 of the Common European Framework), and 24 First (B2 of the Common European Framework), reaffirming the high level in languages of the first bilingual school in the Canary Islands.
On 15 November, Colegio Arenas held a recognition ceremony, where diplomas in English, French, German and Chinese were awarded. The students themselves participated in the event, expressing their interest in the learning process and their future goals.
The assembly on 21st November at Colegio Arenas Atlántico was the framework to recognise the exceptional achievements in languages, remembering the figure of Carmen Ojeda, the driving force behind bilingualism in the Canary Islands.
