| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
A different kind of education, demanding but motivating, which develops the communicative, social and technological skills of its students, with an international vision that allows them to get to know different cultures and enjoy exchanges. And an international visio. These are the keys to Británico and what summarises our DNA: technology, methodology, multilingualism, an international education and the most innovative facilities that make our project an education of excellence: avant-garde, innovative and creative. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
We want our young people to be prepared, socially and intellectually, for a business and future proposal that are uncertain, different and require skills that go beyond knowledge. To be a welcoming centre in a sustainable landscape environment in harmony with nature, with an international atmosphere imbued with shared knowledge, which positions us as an institution of reference in terms of excellence, educational innovation and methodology. Our job is to offer them communication and technology tools, to teach them to work in teams, contrasting and criticizing ideas, taking on effort and work as a challenge to solve problems, to broaden their global vision and to be committed to caring for the planet. |
