BAICA meaning in International ?

Buenos Aires International Christian Academy, abbreviated "BAICA", is a pre-K through Grade 12 International school in San Fernando, Buenos Aires Province, in Greater Buenos Aires. BAICA is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

There are more than 20 nationalities represented within the student body whose families represent the diplomatic, missionary, international business and local communities. BAICA provides a Christian education and offers small class sizes. It is open to children of any faith.

The curriculum is based on an international system of education. In addition to the core subjects of Math, English, Social Studies and Science, courses in Spanish, Bible, Fine Arts, Computer Studies and Physical Education are part of the curriculum. BAICA also offers Advanced Placement (AP) classes, and Honors classes. Most of the classes are taught in English by certified American teachers. Students also take part in extracurricular activities such as violin, guitar, singing, drama, musicals, journalism, outreach teams and service clubs.

Students of BAICA graduate with dual degrees: U.S. and Argentine. The academic goal of BAICA is that graduates will be prepared to enter U.S. or other western Universities and Colleges.

The daily schedule is from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm and the school year is divided in two semesters: August to December and February to June. It is unusual in comparison with Argentine schools because BAICA's school year starts in August, in keeping with a more US or international based calendar, whereas the Argentine school year begins in February.
