Young people ready for university challenges

High School students at the British School of Cartagena are going through a period of personal, academic and social growth. They are curious, exploratory and critical young people, able to face challenges in a reflective way. Through the IB Diploma Programme, they develop skills in critical thinking, independent research and collaborative work. They face a demanding academic environment that pushes them to push boundaries and build a solid knowledge base. They also strengthen their independence, identity and values, preparing them for university and professional challenges.
