Arising from the awareness that the general syllabus of school subjects is insufficient in covering all the educational needs of its pupils the school has designed a series of special programmes covering a range of topics which are basic to the aims of a broader education. Some of the most important special programmes are:
- The Thinking Skills Programme
This programme runs throughout the primary years and covers topics such as logic, memory, spacial awareness and problem solving.
- Reading for enjoyment
Its main aim is to encourage reading, as it is widely acknowledged that reading plays a vital role in the cultural and personal development of a child and at the same time helps in the formation of a critical spirit.
- Personal study programme
This programme developed by the Educational Psychology Department is to help pupils have the necessary strategies to study in an efficient manner.
- Games workshop.
This workshop is open to primary pupils and its aim is to improve social relationships through play.

The school collaborates with NGO´S with an educational emphasis especially Save the Children. Its aim is to foster an awareness of existing inequalities in the world today and the need for solidarity and to raise funds to help finance the projects of these organizations.
- Health programme
Topics which are of great importance to our adolescents are discussed from an educational point of view. Topics covered include: Eating habits, relationships, smoking, alcohol and drugs. This programme runs from 1st to 4th year of Secondary Education.
- Ecoalma
It consists of an environmental sustainability project developed by the school. Secondary students carry out projects on the use of water, energy, and recycling. One of their aims is to make the school´s community aware of the need to protect our environment.
- European projects
Secondary pupils take part in different European projects, such as the European Parliament Model and The European Debating Forum, along with young people from other countries.
In these projects they debate issues of a political, economical or social nature which affect the European Union.
