Our Spaces

We have a variety of spaces designed to favor personalized growth for our students. Every detail is designed to motivate students, promote critical thinking and develop creativity in an atmosphere of care, joy and trust.

Virtues, Pastoral and Spiritual Formation

Three-year-olds and up are exposed to content, attitudes, values, ​​and virtues that respond to our formative model. We implement this starting in the Nursery to establish essential foundations of our Integral Formation.

Our students get to know Jesus, the Good Shepherd in a specially prepared environment called the Atrium, a space adapted to the children’s size with concrete sensory materials and miniature liturgical objects.

Meaning “Good Heart,” this is a virtues and socio-emotional education program for preschool-aged children. We develop strategies and tools that promote socio-emotional learning for our students, their families, and the educational community.
