The bases of our educational project in Primary Education are:
- The construction of an integrated and transformative curriculum in which learning motivates, stimulates, challenges and makes sense to our students.
- To foster an international mindset among our students making them aware of cultural diversity, capable of communicating in several languages and acting in international environments, being able to propose changes to ensure the common good.
- To guarantee the personal, physical and emotional well-being of all students with the collaboration of a team of highly qualified professionals across all areas of education.
- To facilitate student leadership in the design of their own learning journey: expressing their opinions, exercising their right to make choices and taking responsibility.
- Respond to individual and collective needs, based on diversity.
- Learning to learn, through enquiry, developing social, communicative, executive, research and thinking skills.
- To understand the use of technology as a methodological support for the construction of knowledge by our students, always ensuring a responsible use of the same.
- The teaching-learning process, which goes beyond the classroom, unfolding place in unique flexible learning spaces.
In the Primary stage, we not only build knowledge, but also dreams, friendships and self-confidence. The whole educational community will be part of your children’s journey of discovery and growth.

Attentional Diversity
We work according to the needs of each student, for as long as necessary. We respond to a wide variety of profiles, expanding classroom work in the development of literacy and logical-mathematical reasoning. We work with the help of active, up-to-date and individualized methodologies, in which structured play, teamwork and positive reinforcement to generate greater motivation, are key elements.
We also develop skills in executive functions: attention, self-control, organisation, planning and emotion regulation. We learn to use useful strategies and resources to be able to generalise and apply what we have learnt in other contexts, inside and outside school. Our priority is promoting emotional well-being and enhancing self-esteem. This allows us to better understand the diversity of our students and work in a coordinated way to improve their school and social-emotional experience. We are becoming more competent every day and having a lot of fun!

High Capabilities
Pioneering and innovative program of attention and development of talent and social-emotional management for students with high abilities and their families. People on the high ability spectrum are characterised by their divergent thinking, feelings and connection with the world. However they are also heterogeneous and have various educational, social and, especially, emotional needs. Our motivation: to meet all these demands. We start from the interests and needs of the group, with a flexible methodology that alternates between techniques, projects and talks aimed at promoting the triad ‘development of talent, development of creativity and attention to socio-emotional management.
We are supported by the entire educational community – students, teachers, families, former students and experts in different areas of interest. Each week, we activate the motivation to continue creating. Based on experience, we can conclude that students feel understood and, together with their families and teachers, take responsibility for keeping this space alive and growing.

Science LAB:
We learn by doing, thanks to our own constructivist method: “HANDS-ON SCIENCE”. Starting from previous knowledge, we investigate and try to come up with solutions to current, real-life problems. We cultivate a passion for science through enquiry, the scientific method and ICTs, developing social, communication, thinking, research and self-control skills.

Design for Change:
Supported by active methodologies such as “Design Thinking” and the development of soft skills, this initiative was born with the purpose of facilitating scenarios in which our students freely express their voice, have the ability to choose, undertake and be responsible for change towards a better world.
-
Robotics:
We understand robotics as the tool that helps us to better understand the processes of constant change. Therefore, by integrating content from computational thinking and programming, we pose our own challenges. In this process, through a protocol of logical tasks and specific codes, we collaborate in making decisions to solve the unknowns that arise in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world.
