Educational excellence it consists in achieving that each student obtains the maximum intellectual and moral development from his own capacities. But how is it achieved? In the first place, with the effort of the student himself, who must be actively involved with intelligence, affection and will. And secondly, with the support of parents and teachers who love him, stimulate him and demand him in an appropriate way. Leadership is one of the main features of educational excellence.
