Comprehensive development through life-skills workshops. Practical sessions coordinated by the Governing Group focus on self-awareness, social harmony, and self-care. The end-of-year program emphasizes personal growth and well-being. These activities promote self-regulation, empathy, and positive interpersonal relationships across the school community.
English is taught as a third language. Instruction follows the national curriculum and English language assessment is guided by Cambridge English exams using the CEFR levels from A1 to C2. Students began learning English in 5th grade; in 2009 it was extended to 4th grade with two hours per week. The program covers listening, speaking, reading, and writing using texts provided by parents from SyM Dayton. Since 2021, English has been taught through team-teaching in 5th–8th grades, with the 11th grade joining this modality in 2024. Classes are divided into two groups for the four weekly English hours to personalize instruction and accelerate language acquisition.
