Con el enfoque Bureche School se busca mejorar el bilingüismo en el Caribe
Bachillerato Internacional y bilingüismo es la apuesta para responder a los bajos niveles de inglés en Santa Marta y en la región Caribe, ya que en Colombia hay solo 68 centros educativos autorizados para impartir el Bachillerato Internacional (BI), mientras que a nivel global más de 6.000 colegios ofrecen el programa, según cifras de International Baccalaureate.
TL;DR
- Santa Marta and the Colombian Caribbean are implementing the International Baccalaureate (IB) program to improve English proficiency.
- Students certified with IB are three times more likely to access top global higher education institutions.
- The program focuses on developing critical thinking, research, communication skills, and an international mindset.
- Active methodologies like project-based learning, formative assessment, and STEM are integrated.
- English immersion begins in early years, with subjects taught in English progressively increasing through high school.
- Students prepare for international certifications like TOEFL, PSAT, SAT, and the IB Diploma.
- The initiative aims to close educational gaps and provide more opportunities for young people in the region.
