| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Colegio Inglés Zaragoza is a private bilingual school for students aged 3 to 16, located in a lovely natural environment. We began our activity in 1970 as the first bilingual school in Aragón. Our goal from the start has been to provide our students with a high-quality education, both academically and personally, as well as making them truly bilingual in English and Spanish. In 2023, the school became part of the prestigious British educational group Dukes Education. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Colegio Inglés offers personalized attention to each student, personal care and a familiar treatment, in an atmosphere of affection and reinforcement that allows students to reach their full potential. The team of highly qualified and experienced native teachers is responsible for creating an environment as close as possible to that which would surround a student in an English-speaking country, so that language acquisition occurs naturally. The use of pedagogical methodologies that integrate tradition and vanguard assure an excellent learning. |
