BEST GROWTH

📈 Growth Is Everything... And These Students Have It.

The MAP Test doesn’t just tell us where students are, it tells us how far they’ve come. That’s why we also celebrate our Top 3 Best Growth students this Spring, the ones who pushed harder, climbed higher, and closed the gap between where they started and where they are now.

Here’s something important for our families to understand: when we compare Fall and Spring MAP scores, we’re tracking each student’s individual journey. A student who grows 8, 10, or even 12 RIT points in a single year isn’t just improving, they’re accelerating. That kind of growth often reflects a shift in mindset just as much as it reflects hard work.

These students may not have the highest scores in the room, but they made the biggest leap. And in our eyes, that deserves just as loud a celebration.

To our growth champions: your progress is not quiet. It is seen, it is celebrated, and it inspires everyone around you. This is what it means to be Making The Difference. 🚀💙

BEST PERFORMANCE

🌟 Spring MAP Results Are In... And We Are So Proud!

Every semester, our students sit down, show up, and give it their all and this Spring was no exception. Today, we’re celebrating our Top 3 Best Performance students in this season’s MAP Test.

But first, a quick note for our families: the MAP test measures academic achievement through a RIT score — a number that reflects what a student knows right now across Reading and Math. The higher the RIT score, the more advanced the skills. When we compare Fall vs. Spring results, we’re looking at where students landed at the start of the year versus where they are today and the growth in between tells a powerful story.

These students didn’t just meet the bar, they set it. Their Spring RIT scores place them at the top of their grade level, reflecting dedication, consistency, and hard work inside and outside the classroom.

To our top performers: you are living proof that excellence is a habit, not an accident. Keep reaching. Keep growing. Keep Making The Difference. 💙

Our Intro to Entrepreneurship students in Grades 11-12 recently stepped into The Bull Ring, Colegio Granadino’s take on Shark Tank, to pitch ideas to local entrepreneurs and community leaders.

In this class, students learned that entrepreneurship is more than financial profit—it’s about creating social and environmental impact and developing leadership, creativity, and purpose-driven action to solve real-world problems.

Students learned to:

Develop customer personas
Build and refine prototypes
Design business models
This class is just the start—our Strategic Plan is guiding us to expand opportunities for students to make a difference in the world. 🌱✨

Some moments say more than words ever could.

This Father’s Day, we celebrate the dads who show up, for the games, the hugs, the questions, the little victories, the big emotions, and all the everyday moments that quietly shape a child’s heart.

Thank you for the time you give, the patience you practice, the love you show, and the memories you build simply by being present.

Our Kinder students reminded us of something beautiful: childhood is brighter when dads are part of the story.

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in our Granadino community. 💙
