This is where the adventure of learning begins!

At Early Years we accompany young children, from 8 months to 5 years, in an environment designed to explore, discover and grow. Through our HighScope methodology, we promote active, experiential learning, where children plan, act and reflect on their experiences, developing independence, self-efficacy and social skills. With the close and caring guidance of our teachers, we encourage their curiosity in dynamic classrooms, open spaces and specialised areas that enrich each stage of their development, creating the foundations for meaningful and lasting learning.

How do our students learn?

Early-years 1

HighScope

We are inspired by this recognised methodology, in which children lead their learning, cultivating decision-making, teamwork and conflict resolution.

Early-years 2

Project-based learning

We awaken curiosity and critical thinking with projects that are born out of children’s interests, connecting their learning to the real world.

Early-years 3

Emotional intelligence and appreciative language

We develop social and emotional skills in children, while cultivating positive and assertive communication with them.

Early-years 4

Bilingüism

Our gradual and effective bilingual programme immerses children in a second language, developing confidence, communication and critical thinking.
