The SCMG Foundation

Before each campus wrote its own chapter, the group had already established a clear educational mission: bilingual excellence, character formation and a future-facing view of the world.

  • The Visionary Start

    Founded by Edgardo P. Manzitti and Mabel Maria Mazzini de Manzitti with the mission of offering outstanding bilingual education.

  • Veritas et Fidelitas

    Truth and Loyalty have guided the formation of generations of principled and committed students.

  • Growth & Evolution

    What began as a traditional proposal evolved into a benchmark of pedagogical and technological innovation.

Designing the Future

Our youngest campus, projected to open in 2027 in one of Buenos Aires’ most promising educational corridors, is being designed as a born-digital learning ecosystem.

  • Born Digital

    A proposal conceived around innovation, flexibility and future-facing family expectations.

  • Deep Connection to Pilar

    A campus shaped by the identity of its environment and prepared for staged growth.

Our history is not measured in years alone.

It is written in the growth of each student, each campus and every generation of families who keep moving this story forward.
