TGS holds accreditation from Uruguay's national education authority and is pursuing international accreditation with one of the world's most rigorous bodies. Alongside these, the school has earned a growing number of recognitions that reflect the quality of its people, its campus, and its educational vision.
Administración Nacional de Educación Pública
The Garzón School is a fully authorised educational institution under ANEP — Uruguay's national public education authority. Our programme meets and exceeds national standards at every level, from Early Years through Secondary.
New England Association of Schools and Colleges
TGS is a Candidate School with NEASC (the New England Association of Schools and Colleges), one of the oldest and most respected accreditation bodies in international education. Candidacy is a formal, earned stage in NEASC's rigorous multiyear accreditation process, and represents the school's commitment to continuous improvement across every dimension of school life: teaching and learning, governance, community, and more.
TGS is a certified Great Place to Work® school — and in 2026, was ranked 10th Best Place to Work in Uruguay in the national rankings, making us the highest-ranked school in the country. We believe that a thriving educational community starts with a strong, happy, and motivated team. Our certification reflects a culture where innovation, collaboration, and a shared passion for education are not aspirations but a daily practice. Our commitment to staff wellbeing is woven into everything we do, because we know that when educators and professionals feel valued, inspired, and supported, they bring out the best in themselves and in our students.
Finalist 2025
The Garzón School campus was named a Finalist at the World Architecture Festival 2025 in the 'Completed Buildings: School' category — one of the most prestigious architectural awards in the world. The recognition acknowledges the campus's architectural quality, its educational vision, and its deep integration with the Uruguayan landscape. It reflects the work of an extraordinary community and our outstanding design partners at Rosan Bosch Studio, who created a campus where the school and its surroundings are genuinely inseparable.
