School Levels

4 to 5 Years

"Our youngest students develop their language skills naturally in both English and Spanish through the development of reading and listening. They are happy children who treat each other with respect, and who discover day after day how much fun it is to acquire new knowledge. The educational program includes the integration of visual arts, dance, music and multiple sports activities, including swimming. In addition, they learn about different cultures while learning new vocabulary and connecting with the real world. At our school, sustainability learning is always present."

Marcela Muñoz, Director of Relations PK to 2nd Grade

6 to 8 Years

"At this stage, where children acquire greater awareness of themselves and their environment, we focus on enhancing physical and mental development. To this end, learning is based on expanding essential skills in languages, mathematics, science, inner responsibility, interpersonal relationships and contact with nature."

María Consuelo Añez, Academic Director PK to 2nd Grade

9 to 10 Years

"Students in 3rd and 4th grade face dynamic challenges in each subject, always weaving their knowledge from one subject to another. Practical and proactive learning is part of the daily thinking in these grades, so the continuous improvement of the work is assumed as a natural desire and is part of the personal satisfaction of each student. These are two key years in which we ensure bilingual skills in English to obtain A2 level results in the TOEFL Primary ®. Similarly, we achieved results of academic excellence in the SABER test, using the Integrated Visual Learning method."

Alejandro Patiño, Director of Relationships 3rd to 7th Grade

11 to 13 Years

"The Middle School curriculum aims to spark our students' interest in different areas. We channel learning through their interests by developing integrated projects focused on social and environmental sustainability. From the beginning of this level, we focus on the use of appropriate tools in both English and Spanish to obtain a solid development of language skills. In 7th grade we reach B2 level in the TOEFL Junior ® is contemplated as a requirement to be promoted from one school year to the next. Students discover their unique talents and values through a program that takes into account their needs, changing interests and motivation levels. They optionally participate in study abroad programs and international events."

Sally Torres-Brown, Director of Relationships 8th to 11th Grade

14 to 17 Years

"The development of virtues and values is lived with intensity during the 14 years that our students are part of the Rochesterian community. In this final stage, we are proud to have young people who are physically and mentally healthy, fluent in public and capable of solving real-life problems in any setting, whether academic or personal. They are so prepared to tackle their near future that they even develop JAVA software and applications. The courteous and healthy environment that was fostered in them from an early age, pays off then in a cycle where students achieve C1 level in the TOEFL iBT ®. They even assume with ease the integration of a third and even a fourth language level B2 (French or Portuguese). In addition to taking Advanced Placement (AP) courses, they carry out a degree project to propose solutions to a current problem in our community. Optionally, they participate in different international cultural, scientific and entrepreneurial events. Students argue, defend a point of view and express ideas in a kind and respectful manner as integral and global citizens. Each of them ends their school year convinced that every student can be successful and happy."

Dana Pao, Academic Director Grades 3rd to 11th Grade
