Educational project

Today, in our current world, a new multilingual, multicultural and global reality has emerged, and that is the reason why our school provides a multilingual, intercultural and international educational proposal.

Our school, with professional dedication over the years, offers a true quality education, promotes academic internationalization and technological connectivity of the teaching & learning processes of the 21st century.

The basis of our educational model

We use active, experiential and manipulative methods to facilitate the development of skills and knowledge in the different learning areas.

The heuristic method of detection is applied, a method in which understanding comes before memorising, in which exploration comes before acceptance of realities and in which the teacher presents the elements of learning in order to make them significant before they are expected to be integrated by the students.

Regarding the types of reasoning, we use deductive, inductive, analogical and comparative methods.

Students are the centre of interest and the main protagonists of all educational activities. The newfound knowledge, attitudes and values are consolidated by their active involvement in the learning process.

Emotional and peer-to-peer conflict resolution learning takes place as well in the students' itinerary of formal education, as they grow as people, in a culture of peace.

Criteria of pedagogical organisation

Students are attended in ordinary classroom groups, with individualised attention and with flexible groups of extension and reinforcement of learnings.

To the stage of Primary and Secondary education, every trimester, organise sessions between big Friends and small Friends to favour the affective ties between intergenerational friends. Also once for a trimester, organise sessions where the figure of the Speaker between big and small favours the communicative value of the English language between intergenerational friends

The Department of Psycho Pedagogical Orientation, two psychologists and a speech therapist, provides a suitable educational answer as the needs of the students, the families and the teachers.
