Our values
Shaping the future, driven by strong values
Our educational project is based on key values daily shared, for children proper developments.
Value nº1
Respecting individuality, uniqueness, inclusivity
Considering a child as an individual give him the opportunity to assert himself, while learning coexistence. Each child receives adapted support based on their needs, strengths, challenges.
Value nº2
Encouraging autonomy everyday
Children gain both skills and social abilities. Each child is guided to become autonomous and to make choices through Maria Montessori's motto: “Help me to do it by myself”. Child's abilities are fully respected to serenely find his way to autonomy.
Value nº3
Building the trust bond
Believing in one’s abilities boosts inner security feelings and self-esteem, creating a constant and mutual bond of trust with others. In our schools, everyone makes sure of that, towards both with external individuals and internal members of our schools.
