Education through relationships

Knowledge with meaning for life.

School work provides access to knowledge and opportunities to construct and recreate it. Learning grows from the child's encounters with other people, the environment and situations that inspire action and reflection.

The teacher acts as a mediator: interpreting needs and interests, offering challenges and organizing experiences that support conscious, critical, caring, creative and autonomous people.

Mistakes are understood as logical learning hypotheses, not as the end of an experience.
