About The Highlands School Quito

ABOUT US

We are a Catholic Educational Community of excellence focused on the integral formation of our students.

We belong to the Regnum Christi Schools, International Network. We have the support of more than 65 years of experience. We offer our families a global education, located in 19 countries around the world, with 154 schools and 16 universities.

MISSION

We form Christian leaders that transform society

Our slogan is “Semper Altius” (always higher in Latin). We strive to form our students to excel and reach the best version of themselves. We help them uncover and develop their talents, accompanying their struggles and triumphs, and we witness their flourishing as human beings.

We offer our students the experience of feeling Jesus’s Love and provide the necessary tools to become leaders of positive action at the service of others.

PHILOSOPHY

Education to face the World with the formation to change it

Our students learn to develop through critical thinking, creativity and truth, developing competencies, abilities, skills and attitudes comprehensively and innovatively. They learn to face challenges and struggle to overcome hardship and become resilient problem solvers.

OUR TEAM

The Highlands School Quito is characterized by having a trained team (guides, tutors, teachers, counsellors, psychologists, spiritual directors and priests) who is in constant learning and improvement, committed to providing formation and close accompaniment so that each student achieves their maximum level of development. Our formation instructors are the engine of this institution.
