PRIMARY SCHOOL
5-11 years
Our idea of didactic programming is based on Dewey's activism, so that the child is
finally the active subject of the learning process.
In harmony with the thought of the scientist Howard Gardner, we believe that a careful school must be able to respect the forms of intelligence of each child by taking care to arrange activities and spaces to stimulate.
​
This vision of the child necessarily entails a substantial change in the way of living the educational context, that enables freedom, creativity, discovery and knowledge.
​
The teacher frees himself from the limiting role of creator of stimuli to acquire the fascinating role of an astonished observer of the process of knowledge creation, an absolutely personal, unrepeatable process actively managed by the Child.

Educational goals
The educational experience
Great attention to social and relational skills: good habits, care, respect for things and people and activities experienced in the classroom.
​
Italian language and phonosyllabic method
The mission of the method is to consider the syllable as a more easily recognizable linguistic unit compared to single graphemes / phonemes.
​
Learn to count
In the initial stages, the written number will support the visual and manipulative experience, numbers and calculations will thus be experienced through the images and the objects, to create a solid base of necessary knowledge to mathematics.
​
Assessment
The evaluation will not be oriented to judgment, but to the discovery and knowledge of one's abilities, of
their potential and their limits.
​
You work at home
For each class, a "tailor-made" methodology has been devised for assigning work at home.
English program

multi-sensory approach in which sounds are taught. This way children will learn the 42 sounds and identify sounds in words.
