As a former student, I would like to narrate my painful experience in this school. First year of International Baccalaureate there, and although the contents of the baccalaureate were very interesting, the teaching staff was not qualified to teach it. In addition, we had to constantly endure malicious comments from teachers and the management team. On several occasions we attend scenes of violence at the hands of the head of studies Antonio del Pozo. Specifically I saw him throw a student to the ground and push another. In addition, the other head of studies, Paco, made xenophobic comments out of place and was rude to us. On the other hand, each student's academic results were partly based on the money each family had. As a person from a family of professors and professors, of little money but a lot of culture, I can affirm that on several and several occasions my situation was harmed by not having a renowned last name, while faults and serious abuses are allowed to teachers and students by families with more economic power. I witnessed an expulsion in which two people committed the same offense, and one was punished with the total expulsion from the center, and the other went unpunished thanks to his last name. Finally, as a most important point, I want to emphasize the abuses of the director; Natalie. Not only did I despise the student body but I even disrespected myself several times together with the head of studies, letting me leave the center alone as a minor with an anxiety attack caused by his slander. They came to tell me, that ours was like a relationship, that when they no longer love you, you have to leave, and that since I didn't want anyone, I had to leave, thereby testing their high pedagogical ability. All this with 16 years. The next day, my mother went to speak with the director and the head of studies to try to understand the situation, and Natalia refused to appear.
I have changed a lot of school due to various removals, and I can safely say that I had never seen anything like that; a center that cares so much for money and fame and so little for the education and integrity of its students. I wish my mother had denounced at the time, it is no place to educate anyone.
Thank you,
Greetings.
