Welcome from the Secondary Coordinator
As Coordinator of Secondary Education and on behalf of the teaching teams at this stage, it is my pleasure to convey to you the enthusiasm and the enormous responsibility with which we all face the school year which we are starting at this time.
It is up to us to repay the trust you place in all of us with gratitude, commitment and the utmost energy to begin to fill our classrooms with a passion for knowledge.
These are going to be days, weeks and months of intense and enthusiastic work on the part of students and teachers and of intense, fluid and, we hope, fruitful communication between tutors, teachers and families, in the pursuit of the goal we all share, the educational success of our students.
International Secondary Curriculum
The philosophy of the Leading Ahead Secondary Education Project is based on an integrative idea of the teaching and learning process as a continuous, dynamic, participatory and interactive phenomenon. Pupils work in an environment in which they learn, think and acquire knowledge together with their classmates and teachers, bearing in mind the decisive role of the family in the optimum development of their personality.
Leading Ahead takes into account the threefold nature of the student’s personality and focuses its educational objectives on the ethical, civic and knowledge dimensions. All this in a context of trilingual teaching in English, French and Spanish, three languages in which pupils reach the highest level of competence.
Leading Ahead is an educational model that pursues the intelligent use of digital and multimedia skills, together with the achievements and benefits of proven pedagogies.
The predominant didactic strategies in the classroom are those that favour the interaction of the learner with the peer group. These are pedagogies based on cooperative learning, problem-based learning and project-based learning, both subject-specific and interdisciplinary.
In a continuous line that stems from the Moving On Primary Education Project, pedagogical action has the student as the protagonist. In a balanced way, the student is guided and provided with skills and tools that will allow him/her to solve problems and complex situations and to undertake and lead projects. In this way, we ensure that their ideas and abilities are flexible and can evolve as they mature, always in a spirit of motivation and interest in continuing to learn in an international and global context.
Middle Years Programme Curriculum
The Leading Ahead trilingual Middle Years Programme focuses on the personal and civic development of students and on their balanced, solid, critical and reflective learning.
The pupil is the protagonist of his or her own learning in accordance with the proven methodologies and teaching strategies of the Middle Years Programme, a recognised programme for which El Altillo International School is in the process of becoming an applicant school.
The acquisition of skills, the learning of content and the understanding of the same acquire relevance and meaning thanks to this teaching model which, through enquiry, action and reflection, takes shape in the classroom.
In essence, the programme gives students an international outlook, an open and flexible mindset and meaningful, mature and constructive learning in which concepts and knowledge are framed in global contexts.
Additional programmes and extracurricular activities
In addition to the official curriculum, at El Altillo International School we offer additional programmes and extracurricular activities to complement the education of our students.
These activities include languages, educational psychology, sports, coding, dining room manners, workshops, volunteering and more.
We believe that these activities are fundamental for the integral development of our students, as they allow them to explore their interests, develop new skills and establish bonds with their peers in a different environment.
