| The Lincoln School is a private,
coeducational day school which offers an academic program from
pre-school education (age 3) through grade 12 for students of all
nationalities. The School was founded in 1936. The school year
comprises semesters extending from early August to late December and
from mid-February to mid-June.
Organization: Asociacion Escuelas Lincoln is governed by a
14-member Board of Governors. It is officially recognized by the
Argentine Provincial Ministry of Education (grades 1-10) and is
tax-exempt under Argentine law.
Curriculum: The curriculum is based on U.S. accredited
standards. A modified Argentine curriculum is included from grades
1-9. An optional Argentine program is available in grades 10-12.
French and Spanish are taught as foreign languages in high school.
Instruction is also given in art, chorus, band communication, drama,
physical education, and computer applications. The School offers a
moderate special education program, including remedial reading and
English-as-a-Second-Language, but only a limited number of students
with special needs will be accepted, depending on the school’s
ability to adequately meet such special needs. Extracurricular
activities include ceramics, table tennis, ballet, soccer, field
hockey, film animation, swimming, arts and crafts, gymboree, mini
basket, drama, yearbook, newspaper, literary magazine, excursions,
