Our Methodology
Our approach to Primary Education is designed to spark curiosity, encourage creativity and help students build meaningful learning experiences.
Through a values-based educational model, we aim to provide a balanced and holistic education that helps students grow both academically and personally.
Themed Classrooms
At this stage, students begin learning through themed classrooms, creating a more contextualised and engaging learning experience.In this model, teachers remain in their own classroom while students move between learning spaces depending on the subject.
This allows for more specialised, dynamic and stimulating environments where teachers can develop deeper projects and create a unique classroom identity.
Neuroscience
At our Primary School, we apply neuroeducation techniques to improve the learning process.Our exclusive neuroscience programme helps enhance attention, concentration and executive functioning. Through the HERA project (hydration + balance + breathing + attention), we prepare the brain for learning through short exercises at the beginning of each lesson.
Project-Based Learning
In Primary Education, project-based learning becomes a key tool for connecting knowledge and developing competencies.Projects usually last around two weeks and combine content from different subject areas, encouraging:
- Research
- Critical thinking
- Social skills
- Teamwork
Competency-Based Assessment
In Primary Education, we use a competency-based assessment system adapted to the needs of today’s students.This approach evaluates not only knowledge, but also skills and attitudes, using accessible and student-friendly tools.
We also encourage self-assessment so that students can reflect on their effort, progress and personal goals for improvement.
Active Methodologies
Our educational model is based on active methodologies and on the natural way the brain learns.For literacy development, we use Ludiletras, a method that combines visual associations, gestures and words to support reading and writing skills.
In Maths and Science, we work with Entusiasmat, a programme based on multiple intelligences that contextualises learning and adapts it to students’ everyday reality.
Programming and Robotics
From Year 5 onwards, students begin using digital devices as complementary learning tools.Technology is used responsibly to support research, collaborative projects, creativity and logical thinking.
Students are also introduced to programming, robotics and computational thinking through tools such as Scratch, Arduino, Lego Robotics and Minecraft.
IB Primary Years Programme (PYP)
The IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is a curriculum framework designed for students aged 3 to 12.
The programme focuses on the holistic development of the child, both inside and outside the classroom, through inquiry-based learning and globally relevant themes.
The PYP approach helps students develop:
A deep understanding of key concepts
Critical and creative thinking
Essential lifelong learning skills

Benefits of the PYP
The PYP nurtures children’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. Through inquiry, students develop skills to solve problems, make informed decisions and understand different cultural perspectives. The programme also promotes an international mindset and openness to the world.
A Student-Centred Approach
The PYP places students at the centre of the learning experience, recognising that every child learns differently.
Teachers guide and support students throughout the learning process, encouraging independence, collaboration, teamwork and personal and academic growth.
Preparing for the Future
The PYP prepares students to face the challenges of the future in an increasingly globalised world.
The programme encourages a love of learning, self-confidence and social responsibility. Our students develop an international, compassionate and engaged mindset.
