Hello! I’m Chus Benavente, Director of the Dual Diploma Program at Salesianas School in La Roda, Spain. I have been teaching languages at this school for over 30 years. From our school, we promote a holistic education based on the Salesian charism, aiming to educate committed, independent young people capable of transforming the world.
The American Dual Diploma, which we develop in collaboration with Academica, represents an extraordinary opportunity for our students. It not only improves their English language proficiency but also strengthens key skills such as critical thinking, personal responsibility, and openness to new cultures. This program has become a transformative tool that connects our students with an international education while maintaining our educational values.
Salesianas La Roda is a school deeply rooted in its community, with a long history of social and educational commitment. The implementation of the Dual Diploma has generated great interest in our community, positioning the school as a leader in pedagogical innovation and preparation for future challenges.
We are proud to be part of the network of schools collaborating with Academica and to contribute—through our school and our local community—to a global education that prepares our young people to become citizens of the world.
