The Project

EDUCATIONAL PROJECT

The students are the focus. Each one, by name, has a story and something to contribute to the world they belong to. This is fostered through small class sizes and mixed-age groups, which place the focus on enthusiastic learning and shift the emphasis away from comparing students.

At Sevilla Reggio Emilia School, the official national curriculum is taught through multiple forms of communication and active inquiry.

An “inside-out” approach is adopted to foster authentic learning.

In addition, a daily and direct connection is established with the natural and social environment, so that learning takes on real meaning and practical application.

It is important to note that the bilingual program is fully integrated; the majority of the teaching staff consists of certified bilingual teachers, and English Language and Literature courses are taught by native English-speaking teachers who prepare students in each grade for the official Trinity exams.
