Sports

Year after year and in a progressive fashion, IC participates in recreational and competitive activities where students represent our School in different sports. There are over 25 instances in which Primary and Secondary students participate with other national and international institutions.

The sense of belonging to the IC Community is promoted through these sportive events, inspired by the educational pillars of the School, to reach the established objectives.

The practice of sports as an educational tool and physical education is based on doing an activity that instils values such as camaraderie, diversity, solidarity and teamwork both inside and outside the field. They also promote healthy habits, from the very first introduction to sports up to the highest levels of competition. At the same time, it allows students to understand their bodies, explore their motor skills and learn how to organize their leisure time.

Through sports, students learn the importance of respect and perseverance, increase their self-confidence, reflect on their actions and adopt healthy habits for the rest of their life.

In 2018, we put together an Athletics competition team, with which we participated in several events, such as the National Sports Games, where our students obtained places on the podium.

Since 2019, we are also competing in the Handball League for Secondary Schools, with a substantial team which has had many accomplishments.

In the same year, and together with other schools and sports institutes, we created a Football tournament, which continues to grow and improve in participants and categories.

We are currently in the process of creating a Basketball tournament for schools and sports institutes. A successful pilot was launched in 2019 with four different participating institutes.
