Argentine Schools: Modern Private School Types



Figure 1.--Here we see a group of boys an unidentified Catholic School in Argentina, we think in the 1950s. (The bust should help identify the school.) We are not sure just what the group is. The age difference means that it was not a class group. Perhaps they are new students, we just are not sure. A reader had some comments about this school group.

We are not sure when the first private schools in the modern sence appeared in Argetina. British schools seem particularly influential in the private sector. We note private Catholic schools. In fact, most of the private schools in Argentina are schools with religious affiliation, mostly Catholic. One estimate suggests that about 65 percent of all private schools are Catholic. There is, however, no parochial system. A parochial system is private or semi-private as the schools may receive some state funds, but they are low cost because a religious group supports the school meaning that even working-class fmilies can send their children o these schools. Most Argentine private schools are run by or associated with the Catholic Church. We are not sure precisely how many. These schools are mostly for Argentine children. There are a few schools for foreigners living in Argenuna. These schools are known as internatiomal schools. There are also a number of international schools in Argentina, particularly in larger cities such as Buenos Aires and Cordobas. These follow an international curriculum, mostly the British, American or International Baccalaureate (IB), but there are also a few smaller schools that follow German, Japanese and French curricula.
