About the school

Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

Builders’ differential is the nurturing, respectful and caring environment that focuses on the children’s emotional and social development. This has been our mission and essence since our foundation: the Education through Love, considered the most efficient way for humans to learn. Children who are treated with respect in a love-filled environment deal better with the needs of the modern world and become adults who are more socially and emotionally capable.
We believe in the transformation of humans through LOVE. Our focus is to educate the child as a whole, not just a formal education. In addition to our excellent bilingual education we strive to be an economically viable, environmentally friendly and socially responsible school, involving our staff, students, and community.
We want our students to love learning, to be in contact with nature, to reflect on their actions and to be in harmony with others. We promote a joy-filled and inviting environment because we believe humans learn better when they are happy.

Teaching approach of the school

The curricular contents aim at developing competencies, the ability to use the acquired knowledge in a broad way. Our goals are: learn how to learn, know how to deal with information, act with judgement and responsibility, apply knowledge to solve problems with autonomy, be proactive and value diversity. Social-constructivism is our guiding principle . We see the acquisition of knowledge as a construction to be performed by the student in cognitive, social and emotional interactions that relate the content proposed by the school to their previous experience in an increasingly dynamic and globalized world.

In an academically challenging environment, with professionals who are deeply committed to our specific philosophy, we guarantee:

Well-being and respect to each child’s rhythm and individuality;

Stimulation for the development of social, intellectual, emotional and physical skills. A close relationship with the families for an efficient and personalized work;
