ESSARP (English Speaking Scholastic Association of the River Plate) has brought together educational institutions in Argentina and Uruguay since 1926 to promote cooperation and the exchange of experiences among schools of British tradition.

Balmoral College is an active member, taking part in initiatives that strengthen the education of our students and teachers.

Being part of ESSARP gives us access to professional development programmes and student activities, supporting our mission to provide quality education and prepare students for global challenges.

An organisation of the University of Cambridge that provides world-class international curriculum and certifications to prepare students aged 3 to 19 for the challenges of the world.

The IGCSE programme offers international standards that build key skills across different areas of knowledge, strengthening students’ academic journey.

Balmoral College has received the official certificate accrediting it to deliver the Cambridge Early Years Programme, joining an international educational network endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education.

From this year, the programme will begin to be delivered in the 3-, 4- and 5-year-old classes, as part of our bilingual project. It is an international curriculum framework for early childhood, with a holistic, child-centred approach that promotes learning through play, exploration and meaningful experiences.

This addition strengthens our educational project, ensures high quality standards and reaffirms our commitment to an up-to-date education, aligned with international criteria and respectful of the local context.

Our students can sit international examinations (PET, FCE, CAE and CPE) that certify their language skills and add value to their academic profile and professional future.

Students can certify their command of French through international examinations from the Alliance Française, a world-leading institution.

These assessments provide official certifications and open doors to higher education and international opportunities.

They also strengthen language learning as a key tool for academic and cultural development.
