The school strengthens its Emotional Education and Affective Competencies program, aligned with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence's RULER program, and is a pioneer in Colombia and worldwide in implementing RULER. The Happiness and Wellbeing program, within the Social Connection axis, promotes meaningful personal relationships and life skills through activities focused on promotion, prevention and guidance.
The school has Inclusion policies. Admission of inclusion students is pursued, but if the student's special educational needs cannot be addressed by the school, admission may be denied to protect the best interests of the child. Applicants with inclusion needs must present a diagnosis from an external medical professional (dated within six months) and provide the required documentation; false information invalidates admission. Enrollment requires completing the Inclusion Characterization Form; a PIAR (Plan for Supports and Reasonable Adjustments) is used to tailor teaching and supports and is updated annually. To maintain a seat for inclusion students, the school requires good behavior, active family involvement, possible therapy or medication as prescribed by a health professional, ongoing therapeutic support, and use of appropriate supports and aids.
The school offers trilingual education in Spanish, English and Portuguese, and uses languages as tools for communication, intercultural understanding and personal and professional development.
