Laredo
The Institute promotes an environment of freedom, creativity and discipline.
can be described as a school unlike any other in Cochabamba and Bolivia, not for infrastructure or subjects, but on the whole education system through the arts (music and choir, dance and theater).
SYSTEM Laredo Institute students spend about 10 hours a day studying the Humanities and Arts subjects with one or two hour break for lunch.
The morning is devoted to the humanities subjects are Mathematics, Language, History, Physics, Chemistry and others in primary and secondary levels. In the afternoon, students must return to the subject of arts including music theory, dictation, theory, voice training, violin and other materials, according to the specialization of choice. Not everyone can specialize in instruments, choir, dance or theater, the school must choose the subject that best fits your skills.
Students are accustomed to the routine of spending the morning classes and evening and even embrace it as a way of life "privileged" because they are aware that other schools would not learn what they are taught at the Institute Laredo. SELECTION
director of the Institute, Franklin Anaya, said that every year there are 600 children in third grade trying to enter the school to be part of the comprehensive education system. However, not everyone can be part of the Institute, children are selected through an aptitude test and only 60 remain to be studied.
Anaya believes that children who are not selected have other skills such as the exact sciences and other branches.
"We believe that man is beyond reason and that education involves all dimensions of human beings and give all the nutrients to develop their powers," said.

I love football and instruments. I am studying four years and learned to play the clarinet. I do not want my parents to change my college because I feel very bad. We are all friends and share.

I'm in the specialty of singing and teach us more opera style and what I like about school is all the teaching and give us freedom, but not is a freedom to do what we want but that we are responsible for the consequences.
