Primary School

In our Primary School, children aged 6 to 11 enjoy a caring, dynamic, trilingual learning experience (Spanish, English, and French) that sparks their curiosity and supports their academic, creative, physical, emotional, and social development through the National Basic General Education (EGB) Curriculum.

Our curriculum

Intellectual discovery and critical thinking are at the heart of our educational approach, where students are encouraged to ask meaningful questions and seek their own answers. The National Basic General Education (EGB) Curriculum fosters curiosity, develops skills, and empowers students to investigate, discover, and build their own learning.

Language and Literature

Building confidence through reading, writing, and speaking

Throughout their Primary School journey, students strengthen their reading comprehension, writing, verbal reasoning, and vocabulary skills. Our reading plan nurtures a love of reading, encouraging students to explore new books, challenge themselves, and continue developing their literacy skills.

Whether they are writing stories, researching presentations, or reading aloud with their peers, students build the communication and critical thinking skills they need to become confident, effective communicators.

Language and Literature

Mathematics

Developing problem-solving and logical thinking

Students take part in a dynamic mathematics program that promotes deep understanding, reasoning, and real-world application. Innovamat is currently implemented in the first grade levels and will be progressively introduced into higher grades each year, helping students build a strong foundation from the very beginning of their learning journey.

Lessons encourage problem-solving, logical thinking, and the clear communication of ideas while covering key areas such as number relationships, geometry, measurement, statistics, and quantitative reasoning. This approach enables students not only to understand mathematics, but also to apply it in meaningful ways, developing confidence, independence, and a positive attitude toward learning.

Mathematics

Science

Discover through exploration

Learners explore science through hands-on, meaningful experiences that spark curiosity and deepen their understanding of the natural world. Through experiments, projects, and practical activities, they investigate cause-and-effect relationships, apply the scientific method, and take on inquiry, design, and construction challenges.

This approach encourages critical thinking, motivates students to ask questions and investigate, developing key skills for exploration and discovery. In this way, children not only learn science, but also become young researchers capable of observing, analyzing, and understanding their environment.

Science

Social Studies

Understanding the world and building identity

Students explore their social, cultural, and geographic environment through experiences that help them understand the world around them. Throughout Primary School, they develop a sense of identity, belonging, and respect for diversity, strengthening their connection to their community and the wider global context.

Lessons promote reflection, dialogue, and active participation, addressing topics that encourage coexistence, responsibility, and critical thinking. Through meaningful projects and activities, students learn to interpret their environment, value different perspectives, and act with awareness. This approach helps them grow into responsible citizens who are committed to their community and prepared to contribute positively to a diverse, constantly changing society.

Artistic Culture

Expressing creativity through artistic exploration

At our Primary School, students develop their creativity through meaningful experiences in Painting, Music, and Performing Arts.
In Music, they strengthen skills such as rhythm, active listening, and interpretation, taking part in performances that help them build confidence and express themselves with assurance.

In Painting, they explore different techniques and materials, expanding their imagination and their ability to communicate ideas through art.
In Performing Arts, students develop body expression, voice, and creativity, participating in productions and activities that promote teamwork and self-confidence.

Artistic Culture

Physical Education

Promoting health, movement, and teamwork

Students take an active part in Physical Education and Sports classes, where they develop motor skills and learn the fundamentals of different sports disciplines. Through these experiences, they strengthen their coordination, endurance, and confidence while enjoying movement and physical activity.

The program promotes healthy lifestyle habits, fair play, and teamwork, helping students develop both their physical abilities and their character. Through regular practice and participation in sports activities, children also learn the importance of discipline, respect, and collaboration. This comprehensive approach supports students’ physical and emotional welleing, encouraging an active, balanced lifestyle from the earliest grades.

Robotics

Developing confident technology users

At La Moderna, students develop digital skills through hands-on Robotics experiences, where they explore, create, and solve challenges using technology. Through dynamic projects, children design, build, and program, strengthening their logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Robotics classes encourage the development of the 4Cs: creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. Students learn to work as a team, share ideas, and achieve common goals, while using technology responsibly and effectively. This prepares them to navigate an increasingly digital and connected world with confidence and safety.
