A apenas unas 30 cuadras de Panamericana y Gral. Pazy 30’ del microcentro –tal como lo experimentan a diarionumerosas familias-, el Belgrano Day School se distinguepor su tradición de excelencia académica, logros artísticosextraordinarios y un alto nivel de competitividad deportiva.

Por su relación sostenida y fructífera con Cambridge Inter-national Examinations (CIE), el BDS ha sido distinguidocomo el primer colegio argentino en alcanzar el CambridgeInternational Fellowship Status. Ofrece un currículumnacional e internacional para alumnos de ambos sexos, de 2

a 18 años de edad. Los egresados obtienen los diplomas dela Universidad de Cambridge (IGCSE, AICE, AS y Alevels) y el título de Bachiller Nacional Bilingüe. El cole-gio también ha sido pionero en la implementación del Cam-bridge International Primary Programme (CIPP).

Amalgamando los valores propios del humanismo con lacultura del esfuerzo y la autosuperación, el lema del BDS,“Fac Recte”, es una invitación a “obrar con rectitud en eljuego de la vida”.Entre los alumnos, concurren hijos, nietos y bisnietos de

ex alumnos (“Old Facrecteans”); el BDS transita así la 4ªgeneración. Hay egresados de las promociones másrecientes en Cambridge, Yale o Johns Hopkins, entre otrasuniversidades extranjeras, así como en las más presti-giosas del país. Entre los ex alumnos, se destacan person-alidades exitosas del mundo de los negocios, la industria,las ciencias, las artes y los deportes. Los Old Facre-ceteans, nucleados en la Old Facrectean Community,reciben newsletters, se reúnen anualmente en el colegio yllevan adelante iniciativas vinculadas con los deportes, lasartes o la acción social.
