Primary education requires vibrant and deep learning processes. When a concept is experienced through cognitive, artistic, and practical activities, the student integrates the content in a holistic way and develops lifelong skills. This approach emphasizes a balanced acquisition of knowledge that integrates theory with practice to support ongoing development.
Beauty and artistic sense are valued allies in the learning process. The presentation of contents seeks beauty to help the student connect with even complex material. The primary program integrates artistic approaches, including plastic arts and crafts, music and orchestra, and eurhythm. The arts are used to access and transform knowledge rather than to stand alone as separate subjects.
Foreign languages are taught weekly throughout the primary years. The program also includes artistic and cultural activities such as plastic arts and form, music and orchestra, and physical education, along with eurhythm. Horticulture is present as part of the educational experience, relating to health, nutrition, the origin of foods, and self-care.
The tutor accompanies the class across all Primary years (up to 2nd ESO), fostering trust and a deep knowledge of the students and their family environment. The bond and trust with the tutor are essential to learning. The approach balances imaginative and mnemonic activities, and the interplay between theory and practice supports student wellbeing. Through pedagogical activities, the aim is to awaken appreciation for what is done.
The teaching structure includes a tutor who accompanies the group throughout the Primary years, ensuring continuity and guidance for students' development. This continuous mentorship supports student leadership within the learning journey and strengthens the classroom community. The school emphasizes collaboration between teachers, families, and students to foster responsible and engaged learners.
The school has its own kitchen and serves organic food. Horticulture is part of the curriculum and reinforces health, nutrition, and the origins of food. Physical education is included in the weekly program, contributing to overall wellbeing.
