When we asked about the schools in Uruguay, they said...

"The British Schools of Montevideo is one of the best international schools in Uruguay. It is a private, co-educational school that offers a British-style education to students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 13. The school is accredited by the Council of British International Schools and follows the National Curriculum of England and Wales. It also offers a range of extra-curricular activities, such as sports, music, and drama. The American School of Montevideo is another excellent international school in Uruguay. It is a private, co-educational school that offers an American-style education to students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12. The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and follows the American curriculum. It also offers a range of extra-curricular activities, such as sports, music, and drama. The Colegio Internacional de Montevideo is a bilingual school in Uruguay that offers a bilingual education to students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12. The school is accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organization and follows the International Baccalaureate curriculum. It also offers a range of extra-curricular activities, such as sports, music, and drama," commented one expat when asked about in Uruguay.

"DON'T!!!!!!!! Punta del Este is a a little piece of heaven on earth. It is probably one of 4 or 5 true paradizes on earth. Saint Clare's College Punta del Este is intended to be a money machine. Really outstanding phenomenal marketing. But a horrible place to send your children to school. If you value your child's security and welfare and want them to have a good education, do not send him or her to this school," remarked one expat living in Punta del Este with children attending Saint Clare's College.
