Northlands School was founded in 1932 by Winifred Brightman and Mildred Slater in Olivos. Originally an all-girls school, it became co-educational in the 1990s and has since maintained its reputation as one of the most elite bilingual institutions in Argentina. The school is famous for educating notable figures, including Queen Máxima of the Netherlands. Northlands operates on two campuses: the original Olivos site and a newer location in Nordelta, both providing world-class facilities.
The school offers the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP, and DP), ensuring a consistent international framework throughout a student's education. The Northlands philosophy, 'Friendship and Service,' is deeply embedded in the culture, encouraging students to contribute positively to society. The academic program is rigorous, complemented by a strong focus on sports, particularly hockey and rugby, and a vibrant arts program.
