Active learning and autonomy from an early age.
International Baccalaureate Diploma: Global Training for Future Leaders.
Emotional education to understand and regulate emotions.
In Early Childhood, children ages 12 months to 7 years begin to develop essential skills in a safe, secure, trusting and caring environment. Learning includes immersion in a second language, English, integrated with meaningful, hands-on activities.
Through the RULER program, children learn to recognize, understand, name, express and regulate their emotions, strengthening their emotional intelligence from an early age. The international HighScope methodology, based on the PTR (Plan, Work and Reflect) model, fosters creativity, autonomy, leadership and critical thinking, laying the foundations for a successful future.
We rely on the international HighScope methodology, where children lead their learning through the PTR model (Plan, Work and Reflect), strengthening their autonomy, creativity and critical thinking.
We implemented Yale University’s RULER program, which strengthens emotional intelligence by teaching children to identify and regulate their emotions, cultivating empathy and confidence.
Our early English immersion integrates the language naturally through games, stories and songs, developing effective communication and a love of learning.
We accompany children with an interdisciplinary team that promotes their integral wellbeing and facilitates their academic, emotional and social development from their earliest years.
