Apoyo al Alumno
Personal/programas dedicados a estudiantes con necesidades de aprendizaje especiales
We do not have in-house specialised staff at the moment, but we work closely with the parents, doctors and therapists of any child requiring specialised support. The few children we have welcomed throughout the years that required specific physical, emotional or academic support structures fared very well and flourished when the parents were open to coordinating with us.
Apoyo al aprendizaje ofrecido
Not applicable at this time (see previous answer).
El colegio apoya a estudiantes con talento y habilidades excepcionales
Because of our mixed teaching methods, combining the Montessori approach with more traditional teacher-led activities and with cooperative learning, each child learns at their own pace and gifted students who require more stimulating challenges are perfectly integrated in our vertical classrooms (ages 3 to 6 in Preschool and 6 to 8 in Primary school Montessori workshops). We work closely with the parents, doctors and therapists of any child who requires specialised or more advanced materials, which are made readily available in all our classrooms.
Acceso de los estudiantes a un psicólogo educativo
We work with two local paediatric psychologists who are on call if needed.
