Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Prepare responsible and committed people through a cutting-edge, international and world class education. Cutting-edge, because we are sensitive to our environment, and we want to connect with society. International, because the world is increasingly interrelated, and it is essential to speak several languages and know different cultures. And world class, because we want to offer the best education, with the best teachers and the highest level of personalization. We are evolving towards a more participatory model that places the student at the center of the learning process. Our main concern is to develop a learning system that enhances students´ skills and adapts to their learning rhythms. As an educational community we work on four fundamental strategies. Foster the best education through innovative methodologies, a personalized experience and a familiar approach. |
Teaching approach of the school |
It is a teaching methodology based on neuroscience that enhances socialization and participation. It proposes several learning structures for individual, pair, and group activities. One of its benefits is classroom management, which allows students to actively participate throughout the lesson, generates a positive interdependence between them, and contributes to building a good classroom atmosphere. This methodology enhances specialization and learning at a deeper level. This model teaches students research, analysis, and critical thinking skills. It helps them connect ideas and put them into practice. We develop individual and group projects of different length in all subjects. To make our day-to-day more dynamic and learning more meaningful, we created specialized themed classrooms. Classes belong to teachers and students rotate through during the day. Decor revolves around learning and teachers can delve deeper into their projects. |
