In middle school, we encourage every member of the school community to work in partnership with parents to achieve a holistic social-emotional formation, taking into account each student's characteristics and context and making timely educational and formative interventions. We focus on helping each of our students learn to value and care for themselves, making the most of the gifts they have received.
In middle school, students increasingly become the protagonists of their own learning. We respect their pace, maturity and development, and we help them find personal meaning in what they learn by connecting it to their interests, experiences and needs. To make this happen, teachers act as guides and mediators of the process, applying CAR methodologies (cooperative, active and reflective), using educational technology tools and emphasizing interdisciplinary work.
We guide our students as they build an authentic, mature and healthy personality that allows them to walk, more fully and in keeping with their dignity, the path toward their own self-fulfillment and transcendence.
We foster Christian servant leadership in our students so they can respond to the needs of others as citizens committed to themselves, their families, their community and the world.
We want students to use technology effectively and efficiently as a tool to increase their productivity, develop their creativity, communicate ideas and learn collaboratively, without forgetting the responsibility that comes with using it.
Through educational technology, robotics and the STEAM methodology (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math), we encourage students to see technology:
As a useful and necessary resource for learning.
As a means to develop digital skills.
As a way to lay the technological foundations for the next educational levels.
In middle school, students continue to strengthen their English with autonomy, intellectual curiosity and solid foundations for a bilingual high school.
We educate at every moment, in every space and environment. Every opportunity, inside and outside the classroom, is used for an educational and formative intervention. We have a variety of resources that support this process:
Formative spaces and environments that are flexible, interactive and collaborative, fostering personal, transcendent and community learning.
Physical and digital educational materials that help enhance each student's abilities according to the expected graduate profile.
Educational technology that supports research and the creation of content and solutions.
Through constant exposure to art and culture, students develop critical and creative thinking as well as a range of emotional skills. In addition to incorporating art and culture into different subjects, students put their skills and talents into practice and show what they can do in clubs and in a variety of artistic and cultural competitions.
Middle school students take part in a variety of physical and sports activities that match their preferences and needs, supporting their holistic formation in different contexts and helping them become aware of their decisions and actions.
