William Caxton School

William Caxton School was founded on October 12th, 1992 by Ana María Fernández and Ricardo Martínez with the desire to be instrumental in the education of the new generations. This dream began to take shape by defining its institutional project, as a private, secular and bilingual school of high academic level that opened its doors for the first time on March 8th, 1993. Its first school building was located in what is now the Kindergarten and Junior School premises. Eight years later the construction of the Secondary School building was completed.

The central purpose of our mission is that our students acquire skills to be actively and responsibly involved in the construction of their personal and social life projects.

Guiding Principles

Respect

Honesty
Principle that leads students to express themselves without pretending, with simplicity and truthfulness towards oneself, others and society.

Justice
Principle that highlights the moral attitude or the will to give each one what is fair; it always implies the existence of another or others who must be respected.

Dialogue
Principle that highlights positive attitudes in the search for welfare and social cooperation, and that is based on respect for others and their ideas.

Levels
Why bilingual Spanish-English from Kindergarten? Between the ages of 3 and 8, the children are at the most appropriate age to start learning foreign languages, because his brain is especially susceptible and flexible for it. At this age, acquiring sounds, rhythms and intonation is therefore, easier.
