Santa fe

En nuestra Santa Fe Lower School damos la bienvenida a estudiantes desde Transición (18 meses) hasta 5to grado, que vienen de todas partes del mundo y con diferentes historias. En este crisol de culturas tenemos una comunidad dinámica y vibrante que valora a todos y cada uno de los estudiantes, creyendo en el potencial ilimitado del niño.

Siguiendo el currículo creativo en nuestras aulas de Early Years y el PEP de PreK en adelante, nuestros alumnos participan en unidades significativas basadas en la indagación en un entorno bilingüe e inclusivo. Nuestro edificio de cinco pisos, junto con nuestra piscina y nuestro impresionante gimnasio, permiten múltiples espacios de aprendizaje, brindando a nuestros estudiantes una experiencia escolar estadounidense.

Nuestros estudiantes, grandes y pequeños, disfrutan colaborando entre sí y con nuestros estudiantes de secundaria y preparatoria, quienes nos ayudan a promover el amor por la lectura, los deportes y el respeto por nuestro medio ambiente.

Ver crecer a nuestros alumnos, desde niños pequeños hasta impresionantes indagadores y presentadores en su culminación del PEP, la exposición de 5º grado, nos llena de inmensa alegría.
