Southwestern Educational Society ("SESO") In 1972 it was announced that the English speaking campus at the Interamerican University Of Puerto Rico At San Germán would close the following year. An international group of concerned parents started planning a new school. They wanted to create an institution with high academic standards. They also wanted to take advantage of the bilingual, cultural richness and diversity of Puerto Rico. It was to be a school where students could interact and learn from each other in an atmosphere of freedom, tolerance and mutual respect. Southwestern Educational Society (Sociedad Educacional del Suroeste) was founded in 1973 as an independent, nonprofit organization to achieve these goals. The initials SESO have become the common name used by the community to identify our school. SCHOOL'S MISION As a college preparatory school, SESO is committed to developing competent, well-rounded students in an environment that values individual intellectual achievement, strong communication skills in English and Spanish, flexible and modern teaching resources and methods, and opportunities for students, teachers, and parents to function as a community of learners. SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY SESO is an independent, nonprofit, English language school serving the children from local, U.S. and international families of the area without regard to race, religion, sex, country of origin or political affiliation. Operating as a college preparatory school, SESO exists to provide a coeducational day school program of academic excellence at the elementary and secondary school levels. It fosters bilingualism within a Puerto Rican cultural context utilizing an English immersion program. The student-teacher ratio is 24 to 1. Privately incorporated in 1973 by its founding members for the educational benefit of its students, SESO is solely dependent on tuition and donations for its income. Finances are audited by a reputable external accounting firm yearly. ACCREDITATION AND MEMBERSHIP SESO is accredited by the (NHS), English Forensic League and the Catholic Athletic League (LAC). |
