We are committed to share our passion for the Arts and love of nature, and to make it more accessible to everyone. Classes are taught in a fun bilingual setting, no matter what level they’re at.  We take from different approaches such as Reggio Emilia, Waldorf, Project-Based Learning, Project Zero, along with Project Spectrum & Montessori.  We believe that our role as educators is more that of a guide and facilitator. We are committed to motivate our students to become problem-solvers and collaborators.  We strive for the students to see themselves as confident creators, artist and also conscious of their environment and compassionate to all.
