Breve descripción de la evaluación de ingreso requerida
The Vocational Profile that we carry out for each student, together with their personal and academic interests, allows us to design a Roadmap for their school stage at Virtus to develop them on three fronts: academic, university and personal.
The Roadmap is crucial in determining aspects of the educational programme in which the student participates, how the academic support materialises and the areas to work on with the Mentor.
