Anabella Martinez , EdD - Head of School
"The success of the training provided in a school goes beyond the classroom, the school environment or the implementation of a curriculum."
This requires the cohesion generated by a common north that guides institutional actions to ensure the fulfillment of goals. At Marymount Barranquilla, always inspired by the transforming power of education and committed to the highest quality standards, we have been undergoing a process of transformation not only in our infrastructure but also in the substance of our educational project.
The right combination of modern facilities and an educational project in line with trends in education fosters the development of skills to prepare students for the future of a globalized society. Today I celebrate that the construction of modern classrooms, a school environment more conducive to 21st century learning and the implementation of our Marymount Mission 2026 strategic plan are a reality."

Podcast: Marymount Mind Mapping by Anabella Martínez
Our Head of School's podcast "Mind Mapping" is a space on our YouTube channel where the Head of School talks with students and members of our learning community to share inspiring stories about the DEVICES attributes, which are part of the Marymount identity. In each episode, several students reflect on a specific attribute, telling real experiences, achievements and how they live and put it into practice in their daily lives. A space to celebrate growth, integral formation and the unique spirit of the Marymount Way.
