About St. Andrew's Scots School

St. Andrew’s Scots School founded in 1838, is a bilingual, coeducational school for grades K-12, located in a residential area in the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

St. Andrew’s is a school of approximately 1900 students who receive a fully bilingual education. All its students are expected to complete seven IGCSE exams (Cambridge University) in year 10 and prepare for the International Baccalaureate diploma in their last two years at school. This challenging education prepares its graduates to enter excellent universities all around the world and, more significantly, should provide them with the disposition and habits that allow them to become thoughtful and caring citizens.

MISSION STATEMENT:

St. Andrew's Scots School aims to graduate responsible citizens committed to serving Argentina and contributing to its equitable development through a well-balanced, bilingual education which meets high international standards and fosters a joy for learning.

Pupils are taught to inquire deeply, work responsibly and care for others, themselves and the environment. We build their character in a diverse and respectful community, expecting high standards of discipline and commitment, supporting them to reach their full potential and nurturing their intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual dimensions.

The ethic and moral foundations of St. Andrew's Scots School are anchored in its Presbyterian heritage, rooted in the Sacred Scriptures.

STATEMENT OF VALUES:

As a community, which seeks the flourishing of all its members within and beyond the School, St. Andrew's Scots School affirms its commitment to enshrine certain ideals throughout all teaching, administrative and organizational activities.

The first of these is consideration for the needs, rights, interests and feelings of each person; a steady disposition to treat others as we ourselves would wish to be treated.

This is enshrined in the universal precept of the 'Golden Rule', the practical habit of "loving our neighbors as ourselves". The active expression of this attitude is characterized by such virtues as:

INTEGRITY       RESPECT         RESPONSIBILITY

These virtues need to be espoused in a spirit of openness, as commitment to them calls for discovery and renewal in our life as members of the community.
