History
Since its creation, the school has strived for the integral education of its students through personalized education that will prepare them to be leaders and academically competent. We strive to develop the capacity to research and enhance a creative spirit in the humanistic, scientific, artistic, and technological fields in our students.
This project is based on the ethics of solidarity, respect for human rights and social and environmental responsibility.
Our campus
Main House
The main house was built with the architectural plans of an Italian villa in the Umbria region. It is surrounded by extensive gardens and paths of native forest that we have protected and used to instill an environmental consciousness in the girls.
Chapel
The school’s chapel is inspired by the Basilica of San Francisco in Assisi, Italy and built in honor of Saint Francis and Saint Claire. The chapel was consecrated to Saint Patrick and weekly mass is celebrated where the entire community is invited. Each year the students that choose to, receive the sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation.

Symbols
SHAMROCK
According to the legend, the clover was the resource that St. Patrick used, with a pedagogical intention, to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity. It soon became a symbol of Ireland and has been present in the school since its foundation.
ANTHEM
Our hymn is based on a traditional Irish song “Come back to Erin” written by Asita Madariaga de Mallarino.
