Rank:

We provide class ranks to our students, but we evaluate them individually and emphasize their strengths.

The school's GPA is computed using the scale presented above. GPA is obtained from all reported marks in all subjects from the first year of primary school to the fifth year of secondary school. Additionally, each student has to complete a 200-hour community service graduation requirement (120 hours during the fifth year of secondary school and 80 hours during the sixth year of secondary school). All marks, including those achieved during students’ sixth year of secondary school, are recorded and included in school transcripts, which are sent to the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education.

There were 60 graduates in the class of 2023.
