In pursuing the aims and objectives of teaching and education, the school recognizes the epistemological and psycho-pedagogical theories of cognitivism and social learning promoted by Vigotski, Gardner and Bruner. Our school offers students a complete and well-balanced path that brings together the historical and cultural pedagogical tradition of our country and the “practical” hands on didactics of the English model.
The school undertakes to:
- oppose any discrimination in relation to sex, race, ethnicity, language, religion, political opinions, socio-economic and pyscho-physical conditions,
- offer a ‘serene atmosphere in which every child can express themselves freely, where they find acceptance and openness to dialogue, where they can be heard, understood and helped through every difficulty,
- pay particular attention to all aspects of a pupil’s development, from cognitive to emotional, from ethical to expressive, physical and social
- make each student aware and responsible of their own learning progress, aware of their own abilities and skills
- offer all pupils the opportunity of developing their potential and enhancing their personal skills, punctually underlining the strengths of each individual to promote self-esteem and the construction of a positive self-image
- guide the pupil towards ’autonomy in work and study, to help them make their own decisions and take responsibility for their choices.
- offer the skills required to become active members of the world around them
- favour the complete and harmonious development of the intellectual, social and physical aspect of every single student
