History
St. Gregory´s School first opened under the name Jingle Bells Kindergarten at the premises located at Serrano 1116 in Palermo Viejo, offering bilingual, co-ed schooling and personalized learning.
At first there were only fifteen pupils whose families embraced our tuition style and proposal to create a bilingual school, led by a professional staff that would instill in the pupils excellent personal and academic values enabling them to play their role in various environments and, basically, to lead a joyful and balanced personal life.
Opening of K-5.
Opening of Primary School, starting with Y1, with the subsequent addition of a new grade on a yearly basis.
The new premises opened at Serrano 1320 to accommodate the complete Primary level.
During that year Portuguese was introduced in the official curriculum as from Y4.
The NGO Niños Unidos was created to channel and organize the community projects that had been in place until then. The first class of Y7 completed their primary level studies by the end of that year.
Fiddle classes started to be delivered in order to develop musical skills, art sensitivity and discipline.
Since then, our school has grown on an ongoing basis year on year. Its first 25 years of history are featured by constant improvement, learning and commitment to pupils, parents, teaching and non-teaching staff, community, in line with the school's proposed mission.
We are a community that learns and is in constant growth, fully convinced of the transforming power of education as the answer to current and future challenges. Within that framework, we are developing a transforming process for education innovation that enables us to offer a proposal suited to Century XXI needs in line with our institutional identity.
Since March 13, 2020, when lockdown was imposed in Argentina, we decided to continue our educational project online, using all the tools that were necessary to offer a top academic level.
