Pedagogical Principles

For children to carry out their learning activities, it is paramount to have a learning environment where they can feel safe in all respects. To that end, it is essential to build a solid structure that includes well-defined limits and rules, as well as to accompany children respectfully and to offer a rich and varied learning environment that engages them and drives them to experiment and approach knowledge.

From an active learning perspective, students do not merely amass data. They are the real protagonists of their learning process. Teachers – called “accompanying guides” – observe, detect and create the conditions that are necessary to cater to children’s emotional, social and intellectual needs, helping them to discover the world around them and to gain self-knowledge.

Nature is an excellent place for active learning where children love to discover and investigate. Also, being outdoors allows children to acquire greater physical and emotional well-being, as it gives them the chance to be physically active and to get to know themselves. This strengthens their self- esteem and self-confidence, stimulates their creativity and helps them gain greater respect towards their environment.
