Environment
Natural environment is incorporated as much as possible into daily learning
We pay thoughtful attention to creating an environment that enables our students to develop strong relationships with the world around them, themselves and each other.
Our schools have been carefully designed by professionals, taking into account criteria such as, autonomy, physical challenges, light, amplitude, transparency, exchange, relationship with nature, teamwork, game, intellectual challenges, high cognitive demand, small group work, beauty as an activator for learning, good habits, developmental stages of each age group, safety and care.
