Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

The initiative began in 1999 as a playgroup, based on Rudolf Steiner's theoretical-practical teachings. In 2008 it became a cooperative, the same year it was authorized by the Department of Education. Our pedagogy is based on a living educational community, rooted in the commitment to actively participate in the education of the students. This gesture of trust is essential to build a bridge between home and school, and to ensure appropriate support for the needs of each educational stage. Since the 2020-21 academic year the school has completed its full educational program: Children's, Primary, Secondary and Baccalaureate.
