Northlands School, Private educational institution in Zona Norte, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Northlands School is a private educational institution with two campuses in Olivos and Nordelta serving students aged 2 to 18 with comprehensive academic programs. The schools offer age-appropriate curricula designed to support learning across early childhood through secondary levels.
The school was founded in 1920 by English educators Winifred May Brightman and Muriel Ivy Slater, beginning with just 16 students. From this modest start, the institution grew into a multi-campus educational system serving hundreds of learners.
The school follows a bilingual teaching model that weaves English and Spanish throughout all grade levels. Students engage with both languages daily and work toward international qualifications.
The schools follow the Southern Hemisphere academic calendar with classes running from February through December and breaks in July and September. Families moving from other regions should note that these dates differ significantly from Northern Hemisphere schedules.
The school is organized into four houses named after historical figures: Keller, Fry, Cavell, and Nightingale, each represented by distinct colors. This house system builds identity and belonging among students across different grade levels.
