Commonly known as ABC, the Academia Británica Cuscatleca in Santa Tecla is a leading coeducational day school offering a continuous bilingual education from early years through senior school. It distinguishes itself by seamlessly integrating the Salvadoran national education system with an internationally benchmarked academic pathway that encompasses the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), the IB Middle Years Programme, and the IB Diploma Programme. This blend prepares students with both deep local roots and globally recognised qualifications for university entry worldwide.
