On April 7th, SLS students had the amazing experience of visiting Europe’s largest Aquarium in Valencia.

Here they came into close contact with the principal marine ecosystems of the planet, which included wonderful species such as: sharks, penguins, dolphins, sea lions, walruses, beluga whales and MUCH MORE!

Hopefully you enjoy the pictures!

We wish the best of luck for our pioneer AP French Language and Culture students with the upcoming May examinations. SLS has been offering French for three years as part of an honors program for students with outstanding academic and linguistic aptitude. Ms. Caridad Aliaga is teaching the French courses, which incorporate a hands-on approach through a variety of written and oral activities and encourage students to plunge into the language through conversations, oral presentations, group activities, etc…. The following interview organized in a collaborative effort between Ms. Aliaga and her French students from all levels is an example of such approach. Enjoy it.

We are very proud to announce that senior student Jacob Kruchten, has advanced to the Finalist standing of the 2016 National Merit Scholarship Program. Final candidates are considered to have a strong combination of academic skills and achievements and high potential for future academic accomplishment.

Finalist candidates represent less than one percent of U.S. high school graduating seniors.

From March to mid-June, NMSC will notify the selected Finalists if they will be granted the Merit Scholarship Award.

Congratulations!

It fills us with great joy and pride to hear some news about our former student André Reinhard. André was a SLS student during his high school years, and always excelled in his studies, achieving the School´s highest awards, as well as those given by international agencies, such as The College Board that administers the AP courses.

We have now learned that André is about to earn his PhD in Biology from the prestigious University of Tübingen, Germany.

Congratulations André!
