CLILLanguage teaching includes classes in both English language and Spanish or

French based on "CLIL - Content and Language Integrated Learning"

involving the teaching of the foreign language inexplicitly in context, so with

the dual objective of providing simultaneous attention to the subject area andthe language. Specifically, Information Technology, Art, and Physical

Education will be conducted in English. Music classes will be held in the

second foreign language. All foreign language teachers are native

speakers.

COOPERATIVE LEARNINGThe cooperative learning approach is a teaching method in which students

work together in small groups to achieve common goals, trying to

mutually improve their learning. This method is distinguished from both

competitive and individualistic learning. The cooperative learning approach

will be applied to each task, for each subject, and each part of the curriculum.

In cooperative learning groups students are protagonists of all stages oftheir work, from planning to evaluation, and the teacher organizes and

facilitates the learning activities.

THE MIDDLE SCHOOL

Cornerstones of the middle school project are the distinctive principles and

history: student-centered learning, social and personal responsibility,

allowing students to be protagonists in the construction of subjective learning

and community educating, inclusion, citizenship; ultimate care given to the of

the relationship between teaching-learning, quality results from learning
