Hoy os presentamos una iniciativa que nos hace sentir especialmente orgullosos. 💙✨

Sara, profesora de Biología y de Física y Química, ha creado y editado un libro completamente adaptado para los alumnos de 4.º de ESO. Su objetivo: ayudarles a llegar más seguros, mejor preparados y con una base sólida tanto para el Bachillerato convencional como para el IB. 📘🔬

En el reel escucharéis a Martina, alumna de 4.º, que cuenta cómo este material le está facilitando el estudio, convirtiéndose en una guía clara y útil para comprender los contenidos.

Un ejemplo precioso de cómo la vocación, la dedicación y la innovación docente pueden marcar la diferencia en el aprendizaje de nuestros alumnos. 🌟

Esta semana se entregaron en el colegio los certificados de Cambridge y de la Alianza Francesa, un momento muy especial para nuestros alumnos y sus familias. 🎓✨

Y, aunque lo que se ve en el escenario es importante, también lo es todo lo que ocurre antes: preparar el sonido, coordinar la música, revisar grabaciones, ajustar cámaras y dejar cada detalle listo para que el acto salga perfecto.

Gracias a Andrés, Ignacio y Álex por su trabajo imprescindible detrás de los focos. Sin ellos, nada sonaría, nada se vería… y nada fluiría igual. 💙

This week, Cambridge and Alliance Française certificates were awarded at school — a meaningful moment for our students and their families. 🎓✨

And while what happens on stage is important, so is everything that takes place beforehand: setting up the sound, coordinating the music, checking recordings, adjusting cameras and making sure every detail is ready for the event to run smoothly.

Thank you to Andrés, Ignacio and Álex for their essential work behind the scenes. Without them, nothing would sound right, look right… or run as seamlessly. 💙

Los alumnos de 2.º de Bachillerato visitaron la Escuela Politécnica de Ingeniería de Gijón para conocer de cerca algunas de sus líneas de trabajo más innovadoras.

Durante la jornada recorrieron el MediaLab, donde pudieron descubrir proyectos de diseño, prototipado y fabricación digital, y conocer de primera mano cómo la creatividad y la tecnología se combinan para dar forma a nuevas soluciones.

También visitaron la asociación de estudiantes 4Space, un espacio en el que alumnos universitarios desarrollan proyectos vinculados a la ingeniería aeroespacial, la robótica y la investigación aplicada. Nuestros estudiantes tuvieron la oportunidad de conversar con ellos, ver sus trabajos y entender cómo es el día a día en un entorno universitario altamente tecnológico.
