PRIMARY

SANTO DOMINGO

The main focus is on the student and their relationship in particular with their peers, their community, their country and the world, providing the tools for empowerment and control in the learning process.

We work with the Project-Based Learning methodology, enhancing and motivating the search for solutions to the real problems of their daily lives.

At this level we have multiple programs that help to strengthen the skills required to face the academic and socio-emotional challenges that are needed.

Some of these programs are:

Pull out Program

Designed to support students with specific needs in English and literacy. A private tutor has set schedules with groups of no more than 5 students at a time during school hours, developing a personalized program to reinforce and level their language skills.

Reading Specialist

We have a highly trained staff responsible for providing personalized follow-up to children with specific needs in the reading process, as well as promoting and developing specific reading activities with the different grades.
