"We focus on a maintaining an advanced academic curriculum.
This is noteworthy but not what truly distinguishes us.
What Escuela offers, that few other campuses do, is a focus on nurturing self-esteem.
You can be intelligent. You can ace test scores.
You can even have sound critical thinking skills, but if you lack self-esteem, your progress from youth to old age will stall." Self-esteem, the cornerstone of the Escuela philosophy, is defined as feeling capable of meeting or exceeding life's daily challenges, and feeling that you are worthy of happiness.
These tenets are woven into every aspect of the curriculum and practiced by every staff member to ensure that children learn a sense of agency (YES I CAN!), receive praise for self-effort, and are held to a code of basic ethics.Proven over decades, the Escuela method produces graduates who gain admission to the top secondary schools and universities in the nation and are life long learners and contributors.
