| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
St. John´s is a perfect synthesis of British and Argentine spirit. These two seemingly different cultures have complemented each other in each student and turned all of them into proud St John´s Old Boys or Old Girls. It is a dream which has come true year after year since 1950, when the school was founded in an old manse, amongst the surrounding trees, the yard and the “paseo del águila”. That same Eagle and the motto “Vincit Veritas”(Truth Prevails) are symbols present in the school badge, empowering each St. John´s graduate with the knowledge and strength to fight incessantly for what he believes in. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
St. John´s has always offered solid academic preparation to its students, fostering the strengthening of their individual potential and encouraging them to embrace life-long learning. Its integrated programme includes pastoral care based on values designed to develop our student profile. Liberty, respect, solidarity, commitment, tolerance and “Vincit Veritas” – the school motto- are the cornerstones of our behaviour code and of the ethics St. John's instills in its students, so that they may become caring and committed members of their community. |
