Over six decades, the school has established itself as a recognised institution, known for its personalised approach, its strong sense of community, and its commitment to the academic, socio-emotional and personal development of each student.
In 2023, St. Andrew’s celebrated its 60th anniversary, a milestone that brought together generations of students, families and educators, reaffirming the deep sense of belonging that characterises the institution.
Over time, the educational proposal has evolved, strengthening the pillars that define the school today: academic excellence, habits and values, socio-emotional education, and a cross-curricular approach to arts, creativity and sport.
English has been incorporated from the earliest years as a daily learning tool, enhancing cognitive development and opening doors to a broader understanding of the world.
This space, specially designed for children aged 18 months to 5 years, offers neutral, safe and inspiring environments, with child-sized furniture and areas such as a creative hub, music room, psychomotricity room, library, outdoor play spaces and garden.
The Cambridge Early Years programme strengthens early English immersion and supports each stage of child development with warmth and purpose.
With a committed community, a strong educational project and a forward-looking vision that remains true to its essence, the school reaffirms itself as a leading secular bilingual institution, supporting each student on the path to becoming their best self.
In March 2027, we will open our Secondary School (Years 7, 8 and 9), expanding our educational project to support students through a key stage of their academic and personal development.
She studied at the University of Edinburgh, where she obtained her degree in Primary Education. At a young age, she began working as a teacher, specialising in children aged 6 to 8, and standing out particularly for her talent in teaching Mathematics.
Her way of teaching left a mark on generations. At a time when almost no one used play as a pedagogical tool, she transformed each class into a living experience: she used theatre, acted out scenes, and brought an energy and charisma that made students listen, focus and enjoy learning. For many, her classes were unforgettable.
In search of new challenges—because she was, above all, an inquisitive and adventurous woman—she travelled to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), where she was Head of Primary for four years. Later, she took on a new challenge: moving to Uruguay to work at a school in Montevideo, where she remained for a decade.
Finally, guided by her pioneering spirit and her deep belief in child-centred education, she took a step that would shape history: founding St. Andrew’s School. Her constant pursuit of new experiences, learning from different cultures, and her belief in education as a path for growth left a legacy that remains alive in the school today.
