August 2025 Edition Rector’s Message Dear families, We sincerely thank every student, family and teacher for being an active part of our school. August has been a month full of challenges and achievements: we proudly celebrated classroom projects where parents were invited to attend, reflecting the commitment and talent of our students; we enjoyed the great success of the University Fair, which opened new horizons for our young people; and we strengthened our bonds of fraternity through the Primary Olympics, filled with joy and companionship. We would also like to share that we have implemented a new dismissal procedure for the Primary section, always with the aim of ensuring the safety of our children. Let us continue building, together, a united educational community where every step is a reason for pride and hope for the future. Featured News Primary Olympics La Moderna’s courts were filled with colour, energy and sporting spirit as students from 2nd to 7th Grade took part in the Primary Olympics. Each class shared moments of joy, strengthening unity, respect and teamwork. University Fair On 15 August, Bachillerato students had the opportunity to meet representatives from more than 28 higher education institutions, both national and international. This event allowed them to explore academic programmes, scholarships and benefits for their next steps.

This experience helped students strengthen their skills in different areas, encouraging them to apply the knowledge acquired in class to real-life contexts.
