St. Andrew's Scots School (Escuela Escocesa San Andrés)

St. Andrew's Scots School is the oldest school of its kind in South America, founded by a group of Scottish settlers who sought to provide an English-style education rooted in Presbyterian values. Today, it is a non-denominational, co-educational school with a massive influence in the Argentine educational landscape. The school moved its primary activities to a state-of-the-art campus in Olivos (San Fernando) recently, merging its historical prestige with 21st-century learning environments.

St. Andrew's offers the International Baccalaureate program and is renowned for its high academic standards and its dedication to character building. The school maintains a strong sense of community through its 'House System' and various traditional events. Students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of extracurriculars, including the famous pipe band, which honors the school's Scottish heritage.
