A group of teacher drawn from the different sections of the school meets on a weekly basis with the idea of investigating and designing custom made software which can be used in the classroom. This group is known as ARSIS.
The whole school organization works through a purpose designed intranet system called Prometeo which deals with all of the information on individual pupils and which allows for quick and efficient access to the said data.
The school has a web page which is continually updated. Apart from the Educational Project which is displayed here it provides information to our pupils families on matters of interest such as outings, special events, school meals and school transport, it also facilitates communication between all the members of the school’s community.
