Asociación Escuelas Lincoln is an international school located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The school is relatively small.

Curriculum

The curriculum is based on American and International School systems and offers both the International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement.

Kiosco inflation

Due to the sluggish global economy and consequently the slowing of the Argentine economy, prices at the kiosco, a major student beverage and snack vendor, have often tripled or even quadrupled over the course of a few months. The price of a coke has risen from 1.60 to 3.00 Pesos from August 2007.
