Learning Centers
Our methodology is based on Learning Centers, through which significant and individualized learning is achieved in all areas of development. Centers are activities located in specific areas around the classroom. Children work in small groups, as well as independently. Some activities are done with the teacher, while some activities are completed with peers. It favors social interaction with both peers and adults, self-regulation of behavior, language development and time management.
Through the development of the Learning Centers preschool goals are achieved, such as child-centered learning, differentiated instruction (high endowment and special learning needs), and development of basic skills as well as multiple intelligence.
Welcome to Saint Mary School, where academic excellence goes hand in hand with a comprehensive education that nourishes the heart, the mind and the spirit equally.
Heart
We believe that people grow from their relationships with the World and with others. We follow principles and values that prepare us to face any kind of situation, in a positive environment where empathy connects us with others. We are a family, and when one of us grows, we all do.
Mind
We believe that academic excellence is achieved by developing the competences, skills, abilities and values required for success.
We encourage the development of social-emotional abilities from preschool to international baccalaureate, based on cooperation through comprehensive competences, where creativity and critical thinking are essential.
Spirit
We believe in a spiritual education that connects the mind with the heart. The love for God guides our values and intellect in order to build a comprehensive education, where principles of faith shine upon knowledge. At Saint Mary School, the Virgin Mary is our Patroness, who guide and protect us.
