Preschool

Our preschool program utilizes student-centered methodologies that are sensitive to developmental stages and milestones. We promote play-based learning, focusing on socioemotional learning. Social and emotional skills are essential to collaboration, and for adequate physical and cognitive growth. Our programs focus on holistic development, as well as sensory organization and regulation, which are the foundation for social awareness. We are committed to providing a safe environment where our students are exposed to meaningful, bilingual learning experiences.

In the sensory-motor gym, our students are stimulated in an appropriate environment that is conducive to their sensory and motor organization, regulation, and development. Our students are also encouraged to explore their creativity through artistic exploration. We build on the learning opportunities that naturally happen in this environment to create a solid foundation for holistic growth, social awareness, and a sense of belonging to our learning community.

Elementary

Our programs provide each student with adequate and personalized challenges that stimulate their curiosity and foster their growth. We guide our students in the process of reaching their potential in a learning community that considers the demands of an ever-changing world where collaboration, critical thinking, negotiation, and problem solving are essential skills for personal and academic success.

Our approach to discipline is respectful and provides the structure that is needed for a safe environment within our learning community. We use collaborative tasks that allow for individual, small group, and plenary learning activities. We guide our students to achieve success in any context by transferring the skills acquired through our educational approach. Using a model that is sensitive to their needs, respectful of their development, and aware of current educational demands, we foster a sense of community and belonging that promotes a positive attitude towards the environment at a local and global scale.
