Use of technology in the classroom |
Technology will be used when necessary as VPS doesn't want to abuse of it but, when needed, VPS will offer the best technological tools. VPS has lap tops that also transform into tablets to work and when the class when they are needed is finished, they will be collected; VPS have chalk blackboards (requested by teachers without an excepotion!) but when necessary, the intelligent boards will be turned on. VPS'll have its Fab Lab, fabrication laboratory created in the enter Bits of Atoms (CBA) of the Massachusets Institute of Technology (MIT) whose director was Neil Gershefeld, who said that technology was destined to the elites only and that it had to massify. This Fab Lab will be in the Engineering workshop and will be connected to the worldwide Fab Lab network. |
Do teachers assign homework to their students? |
Villa Per Se has been conceived with the idea that the child has to have quality time with the family. To achieve this, homework will be done at school so they will be free at home to enjoy family and friends and avoid conflicts with their parents that could even end up generating punishments; indeed, VPS does not want parents to do homework, when VPS wants some activity with them, VPS will specifically advise but VPS doesn't want this as a regular practice. |

Teaching approach of the school |
Villa Per Se has the strong conviction that the key to success is in having happy kids and parents because happiness gives the individual and his community the possibility to enjoy life and, then on, everything gets to be easier to learn and to be in harmony with themselves and their environment. Happiness increases the ability of the immune system and keeps disease away, something that science is recently discovering. |
