Our bilingual, mixed, secular Calendar B school rests on four key pillars.
Constructivism: Recognizes the student as an active participant in their learning.
Teaching for Understanding (TfU): Students grasp the meaning of knowledge, get interested, engage, and achieve truly meaningful learning.
Theory of Multiple Intelligences: There’s no single way to learn; each child has unique talents and paths to understand and express themselves.
Cooperative Learning: Creates spaces where diversity, participation, listening, and mutual support drive learning.
Our teachers are interested in the human and emotional aspect of their students, so that they get to know their thoughts and feelings. One of our pillars of education is to learn how to live in harmony, for it is crucial to let the students be themselves, as long as they respect and honor the thoughts and feelings of others and the community in general.
Students don´t necessarily follow pre-established social patterns and types of behavior: rather, they explore themselves so that they can make decisions in a conscious way. Campoalegre is a space where students can be themselves and whatever they want to be.
There is no such thing as trying to get everybody to act and think the same way; we encourage each student to think, feel and act in a coherent way. This idea seeks to let the students dream, take risks and be spontaneous. Study habits and organization skills play a key role in this aspect, for they are fundamental to achieve goals.
In Campoalegre, autonomy is an ongoing experience.
We understand critical thinking as a level of knowledge that can be achieved only if the student understands his place in the world, his degree of commitment and the consequences of his actions. Here then lies the importance of academic learning, for without any knowledge, it is impossible to develop critical thinking. Since the student is an active player in his learning process, knowledge and reasoning are natural consequences of this approach: learning experiences and open-mindedness will enrich his perception of the world and gives him the opportunity to contribute adjustments he considers valuable in this ever-changing world.
