Carnival: Our school has been ,since it’s foundation, close to the social and cultural realities of the island of Tenerife and the tradition of the celebration of Carnival is part of the history of Tenerife and the Canary Islands. Therefore, during Carnival week in February our school picks out a day in which students wear costumes and celebrate their Carnival. Every stage participates in this party, where music and laughter can be seen and heard everywhere.

World Book Day:  Books are considered a friend here at our school. They accompany us during the whole year and are considered a fundamental tool in the life of our students guided by the school’s Reading programme and the promotion of the school library as another basic tool in this programme. In April both students and their families celebrate World Book Day through writing contests, story – telling and writers, and anyone involved in the world of literature are invited to our school.

Students ranging from pre-k all the way to 12th grade prepare this festivity at the end of the month of June where one can see all sorts of performances on stage. It’s an important day at our school which also coincides with the day of our patron la Virgen del Mar (“Virgin of the seas”). Students, Faculty and families get together to bid farewell to another school year.
