PRIMARY EDUCATION

Through significant learning experiences in each curricular area, we work to achieve the acquisition of knowledge in our students, while respecting the rules of conviviality in pleasant classroom surroundings.

A child's integral education, encouraging effort and personal accomplishment, is the aim that guides our team of professionals daily.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES: Classes are given by professional instructors in a variety of sports including handball, football, floor hockey and volleyball, alongwith athletics and general fitness conditioning. Students participate in inter-house encounters, friendly competitions with other schools and other formal inter-school tournaments. Outdoor activities also include hiking, camping trips and field days.

MUSIC CLASSES: Artistic-musical expression is stimulated through song, the instruction of musical language and musical instruments.

ART: In workshops students develop many expressive techniques through drawing, handicrafts, sculptures and painting.

IT CLASSES: During classes, using computers as a didactical tool enriches the learning experience.

CROSS-CURRICULAR WORKSHOPS: A variety of workshops, designed to stimulate our students' creativity, such as journalism, literary projects, cooking etc, are included in the yearly school calendar.

ACQUIRING THE TASTE FOR READING: Through a variety of projects including our own "Reading Marathon" and through the provision of quality reading material, appropriate for their ages, our students are encouraged to read for pleasure and for academic purposes by their teachers. Our institution also takes part in the annual national "Reading Marathon".

KIDS’ PHILOSOPHY: With a series of texts, questions, philosophical discussion and final evaluation this activity offers a real exercise for thinking.

ENGLISH CLASSES: English is taught as a second language in all primary classes, with students having the opportunity to sit for international examinations.
