| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
EGI is a community of caring people who build healthy relationships in a “home away from home” where the children feel welcomed, valued, supported and loved. It is a place where every child has a chance to shine every day. Our goal is to provide an innovative and balanced learning environment, where developing character is our highest priority. We do not compare children to an unrealistic norm but instead, we measure their progress and celebrate their efforts, kindness, friendship and joy of being lifelong learners. We welcome children from age 18 months to 11 years, in the historical Fundição de Oeiras, in a cosy, familiar setting, to learn through inquiry, exploration and play. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Personalized, project-based learning, multiples intelligences, inclusive, respectful, environmentally friendly, Reggio Emilia. |
