Science and Technology :

“Our students are highly engaged in STEAM learning, based on challenges and problems, because it creates a cycle of motivation and ambition for them to overcome new challenges.” they use collaboration platforms and organisational and visual thinking tools; in a second phase they develop their own ideas, evaluating the possibilities, justifying decisions to their peers, creating visual diagrams and/or logical plans; finally they provide solutions – examples: mobile bridges, driverless cars using EV3 Mindstorms, hydroelectric dam models, board games, websites using HTML/CSS, APP prototypes with Xcode, recycled electric cars, Arduino prototypes, renewable energy proposals, movie trailers.

Music and Art :

our main focus of learning: the piano. For this reason, our students choose to continue with their preparation for the prestigious ABRSM exams, or on the contrary, decide to begin a stage of instrumental learning based on different musical genres, such as jazz, pop or soundtracks .
