OUR PROGRAM 

From the beginning of their education the objective is to create the right environment where the pupils can expand their possibilities, becoming autonomous in teaching them how to think for themselves.  With the right guidance they are encouraged to make choices, take calculated risks and amaze in the results.  They are taught respect for each other and basic human values, to communicate openly to consider others’ opinions and debate them, so they can grow into well rounded adults.

 

 

The main focus of the program is to allow children to ask questions about anything they find curious! Things that interest them, Questions like:

· Why doesn't the moon fall from the sky?

· Why can I buy a doll with my pennies?

· Why does mom have a big belly?

· When I grow up, can I be a firefighter? 

 

With flexibility to allow teachers to approach different subjects such as concepts of space, astronomy, mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, technology, humanities as well as vocabulary, grammar, languages, social training, the arts and physical education.

Knowing how to adapt your program to the interests and curiosity of the students is fundamental. This approach is the essential vehicle for learning.
