| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Colegio CEDES' close-knit community, bilingual approach, and carefully developed methodology inspires a lifelong love of learning — from its youngest pupils, where that journey begins, to its graduates, whom CEDES continues to encourage and support long after they leave CEDES classrooms. CEDES' vision is clear: to help every learner achieve their fullest potential while providing a true home-from-home environment in which every student feels valued, supported, and cared for. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Bilingualism at CEDES School is rooted in social interaction and in the immersion of students in every aspect of school life, creating a natural need to use English and enabling them to absorb the language intuitively. In this way, students incorporate English into their everyday lives as they work to acquire challenging academic skills and knowledge. Fifty percent of CEDES students’ timetable is taught in English, and CEDES strong emphasis on active and consistent methodologies ensures continuity and progression between year groups, supporting the development of their language skills. One of the key elements of CEDES bilingual model is the separation of languages by both teachers and subjects. This means that CEDES English teachers — most of whom are native speakers — communicate exclusively in English, whether in the playground, the corridors, or even outside the school environment. As a result, students naturally learn to interact with them solely in English |
