The grades of selectivity are a thermometer, but it is also necessary to value the integral formation in languages, technology, academic and personal accompaniment and, of course, the Christian ideology and values.
“The usual thing for a parent to look at is academic results, and our average score is 7.93 out of 10 in the university entrance exams,” explains Pablo Estrada, director of Marketing and Promotion for the Regnum Christi schools. Today, competition among schools is greater than ever and Regnum Christi schools have taken on the challenge of offering the best for their students and families. These schools have a long educational background and international pedagogical experience that makes them a serious bet for those families who are looking for a Catholic school of integral education, bilingual, with a correct use of technology and whose students leave excellently prepared for the university and professional world.
We asked the director of promotion what he would explain to a parent who wants to know if the formation of his child in a Regnum Christi school is a guarantee. And his answer is straightforward: “Let him look at any of the almost 500 students who have graduated from our schools this year. Let him listen to them talk and reason. Let him ask them about their educational experience at any of our schools. The academic and personal accompaniment they have been given. How they have been provided with tools to develop their academic and human side. And the values that have been fostered in the school, in balance with their families as a whole”.
Distinguishing Regnum Christi Schools
What distinguishes Regnum Christi schools, among other aspects, are their specific educational programs of integral formation. These include the Regnum Christi Method Sunrise, On the other hand, the APS Program (Pre-University Counseling) helps and guides students to take the right steps towards their desired studies at the university of their choice and, therefore, towards professional success.
Thanks to the Pre-University Counseling Program (Baccalaureate), students have the experience of working in a company for a week thanks to the program Work Experience, They also participate in literary workshops, conferences on careers and academic orientation, open days at universities and different activities that can be organized according to the student profile of each generation.
Real professional experience since high school
The Work Experience is an opportunity for high school students to integrate into real companies. Through various agreements with companies in different sectors, the students carry out an internship for a number of hours in order to experience first-hand what it is like to work in a sector that attracts them. In this way, they understand and feel if this predilection for a certain sector or branch is genuine and helps them to make a decision about their studies.
English level C1 and C2
The educational curriculum of Regnum Christi schools integrates English as a vehicular language in a high percentage that varies according to age. They are immersive programs where the practical use and acquisition of the language is encouraged. The schools are Cambridge International School, where students not only learn English, but learn in English. The level with which they finish their studies is the equivalent of a C1/C2.
Correct use of technology
Another distinctive aspect of this comprehensive training is the appropriate use of new technologies for learning and pedagogical development. But they are just that, useful tools for students to develop their full potential. Technology in education has the role of amplifier and facilitator of teaching and learning, knowing that face-to-face interaction and presence are fundamental elements of the student's educational experience.
However, this use of technology also requires well-trained teachers. For this reason, together with programs such as the Tablet Assisted Learning, As a program that provides one device per student, teachers are trained to integrate technology naturally into the classroom and maximize its use.
One example is the MIE expert (Microsoft Innovative Educator), a specific program for innovative teachers that includes teachers. The use of the Office 365 educational ecosystem is just another example of the breadth of technological resources perfectly integrated with the pedagogical system. Subjects such as Robotics and its integration with Lego, making science practical and fun, is another example of how Regnum Christi Schools combine technology and education.
The best version of the student
In this search for academic excellence, Regnum Christi schools also seek the best version of the student through the acquisition and development of skills such as public speaking, debate, critical thinking, design thinking and problem solving.
Training experiences such as vocational orientation programs, university fairs, or the connection and exchange of knowledge with the Francisco de Vitoria University, The event will feature a series of round tables with professionals from different sectors.
Spiritual and value formation
There cannot be an integral formation without touching the human and spiritual formation proper to Regnum Christi. The living of the Catholic faith is present in Regnum Christi schools and is manifested in many ways. On the one hand, through prayer and the sacraments, and on the other hand, through social action, the responsible commitment of the students to build a better world, which begins in the school itself: helping disadvantaged people, visiting the elderly, solidarity campaigns....
And all this with a fundamental seasoning: joy. Education is lived through a joyful manifestation of faith, where some clear examples of this are the Friendship Tournament, NET, the conviviality meetings in which parents are usually present and, especially in adolescence, through the ECYD, The charism of Regnum Christi lived by the adolescents.
