• What Laureate College says it looks for in students

  At Laureate College, we seek students who demonstrate the potential to thrive through our Eight Core Competencies. These competencies guide our teaching, learning, and student development, and reflect the qualities essential for success both in school and beyond.
  
  We are looking for students who are:
  
  • Critical Thinkers
  Students who approach problems analytically and creatively. They enjoy asking questions, analyzing information, and making informed judgments. They are eager to understand the “why” behind what they learn and apply their thinking to real-world contexts. (Critical Thinking)
  
  • Effective Communicators
  Learners who express their ideas clearly and confidently across various forms—spoken, written, artistic, and digital. They are also thoughtful listeners who engage meaningfully with others’ perspectives. (Communication)
  
  • Collaborative Leaders
  Individuals who work well with others, demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, and lead with integrity and respect. They value teamwork, build positive relationships, and contribute constructively to shared goals. (Collaboration)
  
  • Globally Aware Citizens
  Students who are open-minded, accepting of others, and culturally literate. They demonstrate empathy and a sense of social responsibility as they engage with global and local communities. (Citizenship)
  
  • Creative Innovators
  Students who think outside the box generate original ideas and find innovative ways to apply their learning. They explore possibilities with imagination and aren't afraid to take intellectual risks. (Creativity)
  
  • Lifelong Learners
  Curious, self-directed individuals who embrace challenges and continuously seek to grow. They ask questions, connect ideas across disciplines, and reflect on their learning processes to deepen understanding. (Consolidation)
  
  • Resilient and Self-Aware Individuals
  Learners who demonstrate perseverance, emotional intelligence, and a strong sense of self. They manage stress, regulate their emotions, and maintain a healthy balance between academic life, extracurricular involvement, and personal well-being. (Confidence)
  
  • Ethical and Reflective Individuals
  Students who act with integrity, respect, and empathy. They take responsibility for their actions, accept feedback with openness, and engage in self-reflection. With strong character and metacognitive awareness, they continually strive to improve both themselves and their relationships with others. (Consideration)
  
  We believe that academic achievement is only one part of a student’s success. Our most successful applicants are those who show promise in developing these competencies and a readiness to engage fully in a supportive, forward-thinking, and STEAM-rich learning environment.
