Educational Philosophy

An education where, we will progress to give 70% of the Education in English. This progression is adapted to our student’s evolution. During the initial years, English is introduced in a prudent manner since many students will probably come from non-bilingual schools, and for that reason they are being assisted in an appropriate way according to their different English levels, so that It is not a disadvantage for a new student that does not master English, but at the same time, we can continue advancing with the students that are already fluent in English.

An education where New Technologies and, particularly, Computer Science, are very important in the different subjects. This key objective, crucial for the immediate and future development of our students will be achieved with the help of our latest generation computers that the school lends to every student in Secondary and High School for them to use in the school and at home, digital interactive whiteboards, wireless networks, and the vast variety of educational Software available.

An education where Physical Education and Sports are high on our list of priorities. This means that a significant amount of lessons are Physical Education, to include Swimming (each course will go once a week to the PTA Sports centre, which is in the same street as the School). Our unbeatable facilities, our Sports Club, as well as our specialized P.E. teachers will help us reach this objective. Yoga, Taichi and Aikido (taught by Sensei Cipriano Pardo Cervantes) are also be included in the curriculum, where we are gradually raising our students spiritual awareness and introduce them to the Martial Arts philosophy.

An education where our students will reach a high level of excellence in all subjects. Thanks to our facilities (digital interactive whiteboards, multimedia projectors, libraries, laboratories, Music labs, etc.), resources and our specialized staff in each area we are able to achieve this objective.

An education based on an individualized attention. The coordination of Tutors, Head of Studies and Psychologists allows us to detect any educational specific need and to provide the means to try to solve any problem or educational situation that may arise (support classes in our own centre when it is necessary, psicopedagogical advice to parents through tutorship’s, extra activities for outstanding students, etc.).

An education that pays a special attention to the nutrition of our students. Our students can enjoy a menu based on the Mediterranean diet (obviously, this only applies to those students that use the dining hall) that is monitored monthly by a Nutritionist. Naturally we can cater for students with special diets due to medical or religious matters.

An education that will pay appropriate attention to the communication with parents as a fundamental part of their children's education. This objective will be achieved by means of our tutorship system, our regular meetings, daily communication between teachers and parents and through our school website ( private access with password),

A respect for the environment that will involve the creation of an ecological school that will not only be functional but will improve social interaction. We believe that by improving the school environment, its interior and external spaces, it is not only a matter of aesthetics but can affect relationships and quality of life. We belong to the Greenpeace network of solar schools and have installed photovoltaic panels. Because the light, temperature, humidity, acoustic conditions and furniture in the classroom are all elements that can affect the learning process, this school will have all these factors automated and monitored by computer.

An education that pays particular attention to the coexistence among the different parts of the School Community. Our teachers and Directive Team (with more than 20 years of experience) will foment this coexistence among the students and will not tolerate any type of verbal or physical aggression, but will reinforce students positively when their attitude is the correct one. The School has developed a group of discipline rules that outline a disciplinary process for all the students (verbal warnings, detentions, and should the need arise, temporary expulsions so that the student can reflect on his behaviour at home).

Mutual respect in every sense is a fundamental objective in our school. (non-discrimination of sex, religion, culture, race, ideology or, simply, for a physical characteristic) This applies at all times and not just in the classroom ( e.g. excursions, recess, dining room)

An education that foments the autonomy and the responsibility of our students. They have the means and the school organization adapted for their own personal organization (hangers, lockers...), the students being ultimately responsible for their own material. We remind parents that all personal objects (clothes, books, etc.) should always be marked with the student’s name. At the same time, punctuality is essential to improve this responsibility. From day one at our school, the school uniform will be worn to make things easier for the parents and also avoid discriminations among the students.

An education that pays particular attention to the additional topics essential for an all round education of their children. Education for Peace, Coexistence, Health and Hygiene, Road Safety Education, Sexual Education, etc., as we have covered earlier, should be introduced in all educational activities of centre. Our educational project is complemented with a range of diverse activities of equal importance such as: excursions, extra curricular activities, additional languages: German in 5º and 6º of Primary, Computer science in Primary / Secondary, English in Nursery or Spanish for foreign students in all the stages. Courses and Seminars (Parents classes, Spelling Contests, Studying Techniques, etc.).
