EQUIVALENCIES
Students transferring to Lincoln in grades 8-12 from countries without educational agreements with Argentina, will be given “equivalency” studies in Spanish language. The equivalency studies, in conjunction with the required coursework in the Lincoln curriculum, are designed to enable even beginning Spanish students to reach the minimum level of Spanish language proficiency necessary for the Argentine diploma (Bachillerato). The equivalency studies will be administered through the Spanish Department. Award of the Bachillerato is contingent on successful completion of the equivalency studies.
MS/HS PLACEMENT TESTS
Please note that some new students in Middle School or High School may be required to take placement tests (English/Spanish or Math). The academic advisory secretaries for each division, Yolanda Vitsentzos (High School) or Carolina Nicolini (Middle School) will be in touch to schedule them if necessary.
