SEK-Les Alpes offers a six-week module each year for Year 6 Primary to Year 4 ESO as part of the SEK programme. This module develops academic and personal competencies while strengthening students' connection with nature and the international SEK community. The programme supports autonomy, independence, self-esteem, resilience, and leadership. It fosters social and emotional relationships and a sense of belonging in natural settings. Progress is monitored through collaborative projects, self-assessments, and ongoing feedback.
Facilities are designed for well-being and personal development, including common spaces that promote well-being and a culture of respect where each student is accountable for their personal development and academic progress. The Learning Outside-In approach uses mountains and woodlands as learning laboratories, enabling exploration and growth. The programme supports autonomy, confidence, and a sense of belonging as part of the overall educational experience.
