alta calidad en educación comprende un conjunto de teorías, competencias, aptitudes y metodologías, potenciadas intencionalmente hacia el estudiante, logrando su aprendizaje significativo. Igualmente, estos elementos, apoyan de manera decidida el aprendizaje autónomo y activo, tomando como referente orientador la enseñanza para la comprensión, el aprendizaje basado en problemas y las habilidades del siglo XXI, dentro de un currículo internacional. Pretendemos, que el asombro y la curiosidad por el conocimiento, lleve el discente (estudiante), a asumir la capacidad de resolver los retos en el presente y en el futuro y a la responsabilidad de transformarse a sí mismas y al mundo.”

At Colegio Santa Maria, high quality education and learning first implies a focus on the individual and her multiple interactions to understand the community and other individuals. Therefore, high quality education and learning is based on the Catholic values which are evident in the way our learners develop skills to be, to know, and to do what is required from them. High quality learning encompasses a series of theoretical frameworks, competences, aptitudes, and methodologies which we deliberately maximise as to develop meaningful teaching ‐ learning processes with our students. In the same fashion, resources are used successfully to support autonomous and active learning through teaching for understanding, problem based learning, and 21st Century Skills embedded in an International Curriculum. Colegio Santa María strives for promoting in our pupils a never ending interest and curiosity in knowledge, which will take them to develop abilities to solve any challenge they may face in the present and the future; we especially encourage Colegio Santa María students to take responsibility for transforming themselves and the world around them.
