Preschool

Students are the central protagonists of the teaching–learning process. Through individual and cooperative work, they build and apply knowledge and attitudes that enable them to develop essential life competencies.

We seek for our students to engage, interact, and actively participate through methodologies with CAR characteristics:

• Cooperative: Students work together to achieve shared goals, maximizing their own learning and that of their peers.

• Active: Students engage and interact, becoming the protagonists of their own learning.

• Reflective: Students deepen their understanding, generate new ideas, and develop visible critical thinking.

Learning is achieved through:

• Problem- and challenge-based learning.

• Project-based learning.

• Collaborative learning centers.

• Case studies.

• Experiments.

Our students begin developing socio-emotional skills such as:

• Prosocial behavior: Developed through play. We encourage students to build social skills and create a positive environment with their peers.

• Motivation: Beyond offering rewards, we promote intrinsic motivation, helping students find satisfaction in accomplishing tasks and achieving goals.

• Self-awareness: Through guided activities, students learn to identify and name their own emotions and those of others, enabling them to express them assertively.

We seek to educate students in faith and love for God, instilling values and virtues that commit them to building a more just and fraternal society. We also accompany parents in their mission to educate their children in the Christian faith and values.

Student formation and accompaniment:

• Pastoral Program: Guides students toward a personal encounter with Jesus and forms them as Christian leaders through activities such as Jesus’ visit in preschool, Marian visits, retreats, community gatherings, and other formative experiences.

• Catholic Formation: Invites students to know and live the faith in a meaningful and contemporary way, grounded in solid doctrine and Christian values.

• Formation for Love: Based on Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, it teaches students to love with freedom, responsibility, and authenticity, strengthening character and emotional development.

• Christian Leadership through Service: Forms leaders inspired by Jesus who act with charity and justice, promoting projects with positive social impact.

• COBU – Corazón Bueno: Encourages students to recognize their inherent worth, choose what is good, and strengthen virtues such as empathy, gratitude, respect, and responsibility.

Formation programs for parents:

• Parent Education Program: Strengthens the family’s role in holistic education by addressing topics related to development, spirituality, and married life.

• Missionary Family: Promotes family service, strengthening faith and family bonds through empathy and generosity.

• RC Couples: A space for dialogue and growth to strengthen marriage through faith.

• Spiritual Retreats: Opportunities for reflection and encounters with God at different times throughout the year.

Our curriculum ensures a bilingual education aligned with international standards and with those of the Semper Altius Network of Schools.

Children come into the world with the ability to acquire the language they are exposed to in their environment. Through play and meaningful social interaction, they come into contact with a second language whose broader and more constant exposure supports their learning. This intensive exposure can be understood as a form of immersion, in which children receive most of their instruction in English. In this process, content, communication and culture interact to maximize exposure and support both the acquisition and the learning of the language.

We prioritize intensive oral communication, multiplying opportunities to listen and speak so that children develop confidence and fluency from an early age. We begin in Bambolino 3 with a bilingual program that is 70% Spanish and 30% English, since children need to consolidate their mother tongue. From Kinder 1 onwards, the program is 50% Spanish and 50% English.

We educate at all times, in every space and environment. Any opportunity, inside and outside the classroom, is taken to develop an educational-formative intervention. We have various resources that support us in this process:

• Learning environments and spaces that are flexible, interactive, and collaborative, fostering personal, transcendent, and community learning.

• Physical and digital educational materials that help enhance the student's abilities according to the expected graduation profile.

• Educational technology that supports research and the production of content and solutions.

We are committed to educational innovation. To achieve this, we offer spaces such as the makerspace, equipped with tools and specialized equipment for the development of cooperative Maker and STEAM projects, following the Design Thinking methodology of Stanford University. We use open classrooms with movable walls that allow multiple classrooms to be integrated into a single space, intentionally designed to promote intergenerational work, as well as active, flexible, cooperative, dynamic, and personalized learning. We also have a farm where students interact with animals, helping them develop empathy, responsibility, and respect for nature, while awakening their curiosity and love for learning.

In addition, our facilities include a library, chapels, Virgin grottos, Aula Magna, an auditorium, a butterfly garden, smart classrooms, a motor development room, and other spaces that support the comprehensive education of our students.

In preschool, we offer classes in physical education, psychomotor development, art, and sports as part of an integrated formative program.

Through physical education and sports, our students develop self-awareness, learn to overcome challenges, and strengthen their willpower, character, and self-care, while enhancing motor coordination and psychomotor, emotional, social, and intellectual dimensions. In psychomotor development classes, students work in a specialized and safe environment designed for exploration, movement, and play, where guided activities reinforce motor, visuospatial, coordination, and attention skills, laying the foundations for reading and writing. Through art and music, students broaden their perspective, stimulate critical and creative thinking, acquire emotional and artistic skills, strengthen imagination and creativity, and enrich their cultural formation.

In this way, we integrate experiences that provide students with confidence, self-control, teamwork skills, and healthier relationships with their environment, always respecting their individual needs.

The purpose of the Psychopedagogical Department is to support the comprehensive development of students with educational needs through cognitive, behavioral, social and emotional follow-up. To do so, we carry out observation and psychopedagogical assessment processes, as well as constant communication with external specialists. We also support teachers and parents in order to implement personalized strategies that foster each student's learning and well-being.

Sumando Pasos – Kinder 2 and 3

The purpose of the Sumando Pasos program is to continue strengthening social-emotional skills. Through school assemblies and workshops, we implement preventive and comprehensive strategies that promote social-emotional tools such as self-care, assertive communication and responsible decision-making. The content and approach are adapted to the particular needs of each class, allowing for a meaningful intervention suited to their stage of development.
