It is time to reconsider how things work. A school’s methodology must promote curiosity and a love of learning. It is the only way for children to play a leading role in their learning journey.
In more traditional systems, lecture and memorization were the main strategies for teaching new concepts, and the success of a student was measured by test scores.
Our methodology is meant to challenge educational paradigms, truly putting children at the center of the learning process, thereby instilling a deeper understanding of concepts that will be transferable to novel contexts throughout their lives.

For us, it is simple, each child has a different way of learning.
We believe that this diversity directly impacts on the way we must teach our students.
