Wellbeing
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
Global Me emphasizes holistic development from early childhood. Activities for children up to 5 years old are designed to pique children's natural curiosity by promoting learning through playful and engaging activities. For children 6 to 10 years old, the curriculum focuses on the academic, social, and emotional development of students and consolidates everything learned in the first stage of formal education. The program supports social-emotional growth as a core part of learning, with language immersion reinforcing collaboration and communication in English. The team of teachers and assistants speaks English fluently and uses the language full-time in and out of class.
English as an Additional Language (EAL)
English is introduced through immersion. Students live the language and learn from teachable situations created by teachers who are experts in this field. Throughout their time at Global Me, students develop fluency in English. Learning occurs in periods of English immersion. Parents or guardians can choose schedules: part-time, semi-full-time, or full-time.
Mental Wellbeing
Health and Well-Being is one of Global Me's main pillars. The school has its own kitchen staff in both locations who prepare healthy and flavorful dishes made with natural ingredients. Each month menus are designed by a nutritionist who selects daily meals and snacks, mindful of every student's requirements and restrictions. Cooking classes in the experimental kitchen teach students to mix ingredients and create unique dishes. Being close to nature is pivotal, with green social areas filled with fruit trees and organic gardens that support well-being, and mindfulness practice and sustainable habits are encouraged.
