Colegio Decroly Americano, is a bilingual educational institution that shapes well-rounded, critical, and creative students, prepared to face the challenges of a globalized world.

Middle School is the school section that facilitates the transition between Elementary and High School. The grade level system is based on the U.S. system which includes grades 6th, 7th and 8th corresponding to 5o. 6o. y 1o. Básico for Guatemalan system.
According to Colegio Decroly Americano´s mission and vision, Middle School strives to reinforce values, skills, attitudes and mental habits through an academic program and a teaching methodology, which corresponds specifically to characteristics and requirements for our students’ age. Our educational program also looks forward to implementing all these values with the objective of preparing them for their transition to an adult life in which we hope they become reflective, creative, and productive people committed to the global and local community.

We recognize the individual differences in our students, which is why we offer advanced courses in Math, and reinforcement classes in Math and Language. These options help to develop their talents through clubs such as: Leadership, Choir, Drama, Painting, and Dancing. They have the possibility to develop physical and motor skills through sports like basketball, soccer, volleyball, and track and field.
Every school year we have activities that complement our academic program such as contests, and assemblies, that contribute to the self-esteem, personal confidence, respectful relationships with others, learning cooperation and responsibility in their pursuit for excellence.
