Our English program is immersed and integrated in the Montessori philosophy, where our first purpose is to promote interest, motivation to communicate, the joy of learning and the curiosity to get to know other frontiers.

We begin as soon as the children begin Infant Community in our school, through reading circles by the Coordination and parents who master this language and wish to participate, and continues formally in Children’s house, lower and upper elementary.

Our proposal is fully integrated into the Montessori work dynamics, since it is offered as another work area within the environment.

The English area is prepared with a wide variety of materials to awaken the curiosity and interest of our students. The teacher is another prepared adult who shares with the Guide and the Assistant the responsibility of having a prepared environment for the children.

The English teachers carry out artistic appreciation work and Mindfulness practices within their daily work with students.

We have taken care of having qualified teachers, and with the necessary qualities to work based on the Montessori philosophy, who communicate permanently in English, permeating this language in a natural and consistent way to students of all levels, who acquire great confidence to use it.

Our total immersion program seeks success in the four areas of language learning in all of our students, and stands out for its creativity, adaptability and its mission of following the child in their learning as a second language, through a clear, organized and sequenced structure, constantly supervised by our Coordinator.

The first task of education is to shake life up, but to leave it free to develop.
