They are part of the living history of the School, so don´t miss what they have to share with you. We won´t say more... read on and enjoy yourself!

Ésta es una edición especial en honor al Centenario del Colegio. Hemos recopilado memorias y anécdotas de muchas personas que concurrieron al Colegio, en un momento u otro del pasado. Todos ellos son parte de la historia viva de The British Schools, así que no te pierdas lo que tienen para compartir contigo. No diremos más ... ¡sigue leyendo y disfrútalo!

After the launch of our magazine, people kept sending us their memories about the school. It was a pity that these great stories were lost to you, so we decided to put them on our website.
