Do you remember that not so long ago we told you about the Project Zero online courses given by the University of Harvard that some of our teachers attended?

Yesterday started with an American-style breakfast at the Santiago College to celebrate the independence of the United States, with US teachers participating as special guests.
Thereafter, the traditional assemblies of the 4th of July started by singing the national hymn The Star-Spangled Banner. Wearing typical costumes, the students danced to US country music and made different presentations to show part of the North-American culture to the rest of the school.
8th-grade students enjoyed an interesting social sciences field trip, which permitted them to enhance their knowledge about how the Conquest started in our country.
The visit included places, such as the Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, the Santiago Cathedral and the main city square (Plaza de Armas), where the students could understand how the arrival of Europeans to America affected in terms of cultural conflict, considering aspects such as intensity of cultural differences and magnitude of the American natural scenario.
Last Tuesday June 26, the entire 4th-grade level met to reflect and share. On the one hand, the group of Catholic religion students received their First Confession and prepared to receive the Holy Communion sacrament. Meanwhile, Jewish and Protestant students and those attending the Growing & Sharing course worked on the values of respect, honesty and tolerance through different games and dynamics.
It was a very enriching afternoon for everyone, and students showed much enthusiasm during the activities.
During the morning of last Wednesday, the 12th-grade students who will be taking the Diploma exam at the end of the year received the IB Pins in acknowledgement of the effort they will have to make.
At the end of the assembly, Elena Matetic, former student of Class 2017 and current Law student at the Pontificia Universidad Católica, told Seniors about her experience of having studied the Diploma and the advantages she has had in university thanks to the acquired abilities.
Last Saturday, the Suzuki group students, from Kinder to 11th grade, gave a piano recital in tribute of their fathers on Fathers’ Day.
