At Colegio Campoalegre, we believe forming autonomous children means giving them tools to own their learning and their lives. Autonomy isn’t taught through imposition, but through trust, guidance, and opportunities to make decisions, face challenges, and learn from mistakes.
From the early years, our students live experiences that promote independence: choosing materials, planning projects, reflecting on what they’ve learned, or working in teams with shared responsibility. Each action strengthens their ability to think for themselves, manage emotions, and commit to challenges.
At Campoalegre, autonomy is a process: a path walked step by step, where teachers accompany, guide, and open spaces for exploration. A child who feels heard and valued learns to trust themselves, make conscious decisions, and act with purpose. Un niño que se siente escuchado y valorado aprende a confiar en sí mismo, a tomar decisiones conscientes y a actuar con sentido.
Our natural environment also becomes a great stage for developing autonomy. In the mountains, the garden, or the classroom, every experience invites students to solve real situations, plan strategies, and discover the joy of achieving something on their own. En la montaña, en la huerta o en el aula, cada experiencia invita a los estudiantes a resolver situaciones reales, a planear estrategias y a descubrir la satisfacción de lograr algo por sí mismos.
Fostering autonomy also forms critical, reflective, and supportive citizens, capable of taking their role in society with empathy and responsibility.
🌱 “At Campoalegre, we trust children. We give them the chance to decide, make mistakes, and try again, because we know that’s where true autonomy is born.”
We invite you to discover how we guide our students to build their own path, developing confidence, independence, and critical thinking from the early years.
