 School Life

 

Our Time at School

We want our school routine to provide meaningful experiences, which is why we take into account the importance of playing and being in contact with nature.

Our school opens at 8:00 and closes at 18:00. The school day starts with a checkin round with brain-gym exercises and ends with a check-out round.
