San Silvestre is a prestigious All-Girls
British school and academic excellence is our hallmark. We believe in creating an environment which is warm, caring and nurturing to encourage our girls to flourish.
Our goal is to ensure that our students leave school with a high level of self- esteem, a good measure of common sense and the ability to stretch themselves, to commit themselves to become actively involved in their community and to assume responsibility for their own actions. Our girls realise that through their own work, they can achieve personal development.
“I am, I can, I ought, I will”
This is our motto, which is a true reflection of the philosophy of life which we try to transmit to the girls who have been entrusted to us.
