Our Middle School

At Bureche School Middle School, which encompasses grades 6, 7 and 8, we focus on providing meaningful learning that is tailored to the individual needs of each student, preparing them for the challenges of High School.

We have a Human Development team that accompanies and supports the growth process of students and the transition of families at this stage of development. We strengthen processes of conflict resolution, social skills, care for oneself and for others, fundamental aspects at this age.

In addition, we offer training in a third language, French, in agreement with the Alliance Française of Santa Marta, enriching the educational experience and broadening the opportunities for our students.
