Educational Model based on a semi-open system
Our pedagogical model is based on a semi-open system that incorporates various methodologies which are at the forefront of education. In early childhood we apply neuroscience, early stimulation and the Montessori methodology. In Primary School, we continue with different learning styles and routines of thought.In High School we complete the model with projects which test our students’ comprehension and assist in their development and preparedness for the future.
The aim of this school is to seek new forms of integration between family, school and social environment which we implement in our classrooms along with our own model & patented known semi-open system. This system has enabled us to apply different educational methodologies that allow us to offer the child an opportunity to be in direct contact with their environment & surroundings, to experiment freely and to “learn by doing”. It is a constructive learning approach that allows us to help each and every one of our students develop the potential that people have from Early Childhood education to High School.

Our students, our reason to be

This is achieved with the individual attention that our students receive, allowing them tobecome independent within our Center.
