The school uses Comprehensive Values Education (FINES) to develop life skills alongside the academic curriculum, focusing on self-awareness, self-control, self-management and self-regulation, plus reading the context and building relationships. Cooperative learning develops social skills such as teamwork, respect and empathy. The Teaching for Understanding framework guides classroom practice, with self-assessment, peer assessment and teacher assessment to support understanding and personal growth.
On-campus support includes occupational therapy, speech therapy and neuroeducation, with two support teachers in some English and Spanish classrooms to assist language-learning students. The department also coordinates tutoring, the Cognitive Support Program (CSP) and accommodations to support varied learning needs.
Native Speaker Teachers Program started in 1991 with three teachers and has grown to fourteen. As a bilingual school, NST teachers speak English with students at all times and act as cultural ambassadors to promote diversity and inclusion.
The Caminata Program began in 1987 to provide physical, social, cultural and emotional growth through hiking; hikes develop emotional and personal growth and strengthen learning and personal development. FINES also focuses on self-awareness, self-control, self-management and self-regulation, and on reading contexts and building relationships to support mental wellbeing.
Colegio Los Nogales is a private, non‑profit, coeducational day school serving ages 4 to 18.
