I would highly suggest taking a look at all options in Quito. This school has made a rapid change to being an elitist, local school where students of powerful local families are given preferential treatment and their parents are allowed to dictate what is done at the school. Discipline is non-existent. The curriculum is constantly "being worked on" and the school is all about how it appears, not substance. Bullying by local, wealthy is prevalent and the school takes no action. The answer is to make the target and their family the problem and wait for them to leave while the bully is allowed to continue for years to come.

guestI will be transferred soon out of Ecuador so while looking for schools at the new location I found this page. I have my son at Academia Cotopaxi and I disagree with some of this review. I agree there is room for improvement in all issues mentioned here but it is not as bad as it is said. Actually I would give this school an A- or B+ and I would recommend it for arriving students. Academic program is very good for those who want to study and learn. This school makes an effort to hire the best teachers. The school has a clearly defined policies on bullying, drugs, discipline and I have seen they really care. I could see it last year when I suspected bullying could have been happening and the HS principal commited himself to fix it.
