* The school was founded by Josefina E. M. de Renard, She was a pioneer educator who studied vanguardist teaching methods in Argentina, The United States and Europe. She became the first educator in the continent working with multi-disciplinary pedagogic systems and conceptual exercises, based on audio-visual programmes. Placed in the beautiful French neoclassical building on the corner of Cerrito y Posadas, the Renard had an artistic and humanistic profile: theatre, painting and sculpture workshops, music (Maria Teresa Corral), modern mathematics, science and literature courses. Pupils' desks were placed freely within the rooms; creativity and inspiration were the basis of education.
