Teaching approach of the school |
The education model encompasses four areas: spiritual formation, formation in virtues, social participation and formative discipline. It is aimed at fostering personal maturity and the acquisition of human virtues (generosity, respect for others, sincerity, commitment, sporting spirit, etc.) that can be developed through the school's various educational activities and ensure each pupil achieves the best of themselves. The school has differentiated education which is an avant-garde characteristic of the best education models. Based on an approach whereby the educational objectives and objectives are the same for both boys and girls, differentiated education is an education system that adopts a teaching style adapted to each gender to thus make the most of their different qualities and pace of maturity in order to guarantee true equal opportunity. The school separates the children in different classrooms to optimise their development and learning in Primary. PreSchool and Baccaulaureate are mixed. |
