What our students say
What I value most about my time at school is how it helped me build autonomy and social integration. Over those 3 years I grew stronger as an independent learner. The most interesting part was meeting teenagers and young people from very different backgrounds, who enriched me enormously as a person. It was a place and a time to grow in every way.
Andrés D’Avenia
BA in Communication Sciences
I never had a clear vocation. I didn’t have a strong preference for any subject or anything that told me straight away what I wanted to study. San Fe helped me with that: we talked about it a lot and had support with tools like vocational tests, but what really helped most, I think, was the teachers’ support and the passion they passed on in every subject.
