An Educational and Motivational Event
The Spelling Bee is a tradition at Colegio Concepción, held each year to encourage English learning in a dynamic and enjoyable way. Through activities like this, we foster a spirit of self-improvement and the ability to compete in a healthy and respectful manner. Additionally, the contest helps strengthen teamwork, patience, and resilience in the face of challenges.
