Bede´s Grammar School is about to start its operations
in Spain initially with an infant school and has therefore
selected a privileged environment surrounded by golf courses
and the sea on a beautiful Andalusian farm located in Bel
Air, beside Flamingos.
Founded in 1978 as a bicultural private school, Bede's Grammar
School was leader within this educational concept and established
several headquarters in Turtles North, Pilar y Buenos Aires,
Argentina. It will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year
as a regular member of the ESSARP, of the congress of General
Directors LAHC, of the General Address of Schools of Private
Administration DIEGEEP, and a centre authorized of the Cambridge
university (AR 409). The school?s fundamental purpose and
its priority is to offer the students an added value that
implies an education of quality, based on the principles of
individual freedom, decency and kindness. The school has a
strong innovation tradition. It is innovative because it values
self-thinking, does neither impose any authority nor its own
beliefs and convictions, but rather stimulates their members
to express their ideas and personal values in an atmosphere
of mutual respect. It rejects fear as an educational instrument
and prefers their staff to form rather than inform. Their
teachers will be able to liberate the love that unites and
it communicates, and to reward the personal initiative and
the leadership.
Objective
We want to offer the students an education of quality, based
on the principles of individual freedom, decency and kindness.

The vision

with their spirit and their confidence high, having been valued
for what they themselves achieved in academic, artistic, sports

in an atmosphere where all students are treated with demand
but at the same time with sensitivity and consideration, stressing
the uniqueness of each individual.
policy
Bede's follows the precepts of Naturalism, that is an Educational
System aspiring to create the conditions for the natural development
of people, including its values, but adding elements of Pragmatism
and of Idealism.
It recognizes learning through play, including all the methods
that foster a creative, joyful and spontaneous spirit.
The freedom of movements is encouraged, where the teacher
thoroughly knows his/ her students, but keeps him/ her under
a certain external social control that allows to work in order.
From its beginnings Bede's has chosen to offer a personalized
educational program, emphazising the respect for individual
differences with the development of creativity, critical thinking
and research projects since the knowledge is in the human
mind. To guarantee the ideal conditions for the children´s

for the children to school life and special events as the
family day, open day, sport day and several concerts. We will
encourage them to participate in activities where they are
integrated, we are a school open to the parents and to the
community.
