Activities that Promote Integral Education
An integral education encompasses all academic knowledge, the development of social skills and the ability to allow the student to properly function in a changing world.
Activities that promote integral development:
Sports
Sporting activities help with children’s physical and psychomotor development, but there’s more to it: it teaches them to socialize, to follow rules, work in a team, recognize personal effort, improve themselves, and set goals. Besides, they reinforce values. Let them choose the one they like the most. You can sign them up for soccer, basketball, karate, etc.
Mental Agility
Activities that accelerate thinking and are related to cerebral functions: concentration, memory, reasoning and coordination. You can sign them up for chess, debate, or family activities like puzzles, and word searches, amongst others.

Manual Activities

Art classes: build and promote cultural learning, teach them to be free, to better their senses, stimulate communication, creativity, and increase concentration and expression.
Cooking classes: develops logical processes like association and classification, cognitive processes such as element, mixture, and separation manipulation, develops nutritional behavior and healthy eating habits. Promotes teamwork and stimulates the search for information.
Musical Activities
The main advantages of musical expression are the communicative skills; music allows children to canalize through it their emotions and boosts their emotional security, confidence, respect for others, concentration and openness to understanding other languages.
Kids and teenagers who practice musical activities can express themselves better physically, have a better understanding of language, rythmic control and coordination. Encourage your children to sign up to ballet, dance, theatre and musical instruments.
Social Responsibility
