Middle School: Learn to understand, understand to create.
Building your identity. Accompanying the path of change.
Throughout sixth, seventh and eighth grade, our students go through important changes that influence, broaden and complexify their view of themselves, others and the environment. Our main objective is to offer experiences and situations in school life that allow them to understand, articulate and qualify these transformations.
The relationship with knowledge, the development of thinking skills and the ability to communicate it, are fundamental in their exploration and extension of the frontiers of the social world, as well as in the establishment of bonds that nurture their personal fulfillment project. This is part of their transition from children to young people and commits us to accompany them.
Our conditions and environments for learning are defined according to these needs and also generate spaces for the
deepening of their interests and the use of opportunities to make the creative act an expression of participation and conception of new scenarios.
Throughout these three years, our students go through important changes in which they are constantly searching for an identity that will help them find social success while developing their thinking skills.
HOUSES Program
HOUSES proposes situations and activities with a high playful component that articulate thought, aesthetic expression and movement. Its purpose is to contribute to strengthen us as a community, to explore the meanings and value of belonging and, above all, to proceed towards the achievement of common objectives.
The HOUSES experience stimulates consensus building, the expression of mutual recognition, the exercise of leadership, cooperative work and the development of conflict resolution skills.
Each student who arrives at Middle School becomes a member of one of the three Houses – Lorca, Mutis and Picasso – and actively participates in it until he/she completes eighth grade.
During those years, each HOUSE member will display the skills required by the different challenges they are exposed to, seeking to achieve the highest scores in order to make their HOUSE worthy of the trophy and register their mark in the history of HOUSES.
Interest Based Learning
Educating in the possibility of estimating and choosing is the foundation for the exercise of autonomy. Exploration and work based on interests allows students to exercise their abilities with greater intensity and reach a greater depth in their relationship with knowledge. When students assume to learn from their interests, it becomes easier to access more complex worlds.
