What do we do in Secondary?
The proposal is based on three fundamental pillars: a bilingual academic education; a solid pastoral care, both basic and in-depth; and personal accompaniment (Cura Personalis).
Cura Personalis is the process by which educators seek to know, accompany and encourage each student in the course of their personal and integral growth and development, in the context of the teaching and learning process.
The Ignatian style of accompaniment seeks to know and encourage the student while being respectful of their care and stage of life.
While all educators are responsible for the Cura Personalis, the tutors of each particular group are particularly entrusted with the task of personally accompanying their group of students. The tutor's approach seeks to be personalized and close, making himself available to accompany the different dimensions of the person.
In Secondary School, the path towards autonomy and self-regulation in all areas of life is supported and the ability to go beyond oneself by promoting healthy and mature relationships is encouraged.

The academic-pastoral proposal
Academic
Framed within the tradition of innovation – a living tradition – which is the hallmark of Jesuit institutions, Ratio2030 seeks renewal and innovation in our School and its pedagogical models, and invites us to use Ignatian imagination to propose and implement better educational practices, putting the student at the center and preparing him or her for this new world.
It prepares students primarily for higher education, work and life. Its graduate profile aims to promote leaders, that is, men and women who assume responsible positions in society, putting their abilities at the service of others.
That is, understanding academic excellence as inseparable from a broader perspective of human excellence. (Characteristics of the Formation of the Society of Jesus, 1987).
Pastoral
Each level presents a differentiated and progressive academic-pastoral proposal that establishes the emphasis in each of the six years of the school career.
The main activities carried out each year are: camps, conferences, retreats, workshops on education in love and service projects. At some levels, sacramental catechesis, vocational guidance workshops and spiritual accompaniment are also offered.
In addition to these basic pastoral activities, the pastoral proposal for deepening the Horneros Movement.
Bilingualism in Secondary
The main objective of the School regarding its English proposal is for our students to acquire a second language at an advanced level. We aim for students to graduate from the School bilingual, with a command of the language that allows them to use it as a tool to acquire other knowledge. It is important to prepare our students for both the academic and the working world.
Examinations are offered University of Cambridge to certify at an international level that each student has the level that the School claims to have achieved. Secondary school students have the opportunity to receive instruction in English from level B1, according to the Common European Framework, corresponding to the “intermediate” level, to the most advanced C2, corresponding to a command close to that of a native speaker of the language. According to this scale of levels, students have the opportunity to take different Cambridge University exams and graduate with FCE, CAE and CPE certificates.
Sports in Secondary
In Secondary School, participants begin to participate in different tournaments and as they advance in their educational path, the competition becomes more intense, physically, technically and tactically, but without neglecting the participation of everyone, which is an exclusive condition.
They gradually begin to specialize in a particular sport, to automate technical tools, to analyze and resolve game situations more effectively.
