Elementary School at Cumbres International School México

In our school, students learn through active, cooperative, and reflective methodologies.

These methodologies encourage student participation, challenging them with tasks connected to their context and interests that strengthen their cognitive and social-emotional abilities, helping to keep their motivation high and to develop curiosity, creativity, and a passion for learning through cooperation and collaboration.

Through our NET virtues program, we develop strategies and tools that support students' social-emotional education and human formation. It fosters positive environments that, through these strategies, spark the dynamism of virtues.
Goodness is shown through concrete examples so that students recognize its benefits and are freely motivated to practice it. It promotes discipline that is firm and kind at the same time, taking into account the need for identity and belonging.

We want students to use technology effectively and efficiently as a tool to increase their productivity, develop their creativity, communicate ideas, and learn collaboratively, without forgetting the responsibility that its use entails.

Through educational technology, robotics, and the STEAM methodology (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math), we encourage students to see it:

• As a useful and necessary resource for learning.
• As a means to develop digital competencies.
• As a tool to lay the technological foundations for the next educational levels.

In elementary school, students expand their vocabulary and learn the correct use of English at an advanced level, beyond the merely functional. This is achieved through reading resources used by native students in schools in English-speaking countries.

By learning the same way they learned Spanish, they will be able to listen, speak, write, read, and think in English, allowing them to understand, communicate, and collaborate with greater ease.

We educate at every moment, in every space and environment. Every opportunity, whether inside or outside the classroom, is used to carry out an educational and formative intervention. We have a variety of resources that support us in this process:

• Formative environments and spaces — flexible, interactive, and collaborative — that foster personal, meaningful, and community learning.
• Educational materials, both physical and digital, that help enhance each student's abilities according to the expected graduate profile.
• Educational technology that supports research and the creation of content and solutions.

Through sports, our students get to know themselves, learn to overcome challenges, build willpower and character, and develop psychomotor, emotional, social, and intellectual skills.

We also give students constant exposure to art and culture, helping them develop critical and creative thinking as well as a range of emotional skills.
