Secondary School
Comprehensive education with a global profile
Secondary School at TGS is a transformative stage where students consolidate their knowledge and broaden their global perspective. Through a rigorous academic program and diverse experiential opportunities, we guide them in discovering their interests, talents, and career aspirations.
Our goal is to develop young people with critical thinking skills, capable of taking a stand, collaborating with others, and moving confidently across different contexts.
Graduate profile
We aspire for our students to graduate as young people who:
Are actively engaged and take on a leading role in their own learning.
Can transform ideas into concrete actions and sustain meaningful projects.
Apply their knowledge in real-world situations with a creative and solution-oriented mindset.
Use English naturally as a tool for communication and learning.
Know themselves, trust in their abilities, and maintain the desire to keep learning.
Innovative bilingual program organized by fields of knowledge, with a focus on Literature.
Our curriculum combines traditional subjects with spaces organized by fields of knowledge. Throughout the school day, students alternate between classes in Spanish and English, incorporating the language naturally in real-life learning contexts.
Lower Secondary (S1 to S3)
Our pedagogical approach combines curricular subjects with spaces organized by fields of knowledge in areas such as: social-emotional education (LIFE), exact sciences, social sciences, art, TGS Online, the TGS Project, technology and innovation, and alternative sport.
