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.

Innovation and technology techniques

It is extremely important in today’s teaching-learning methods to include technological tools, thus taking a robotics workshop or programming and software managing can have plenty of benefits. It will help your child develop its analytical thinking, investigation, creativity, problem-solving, and scientific skills, amongst others. Robotic classes are an excellent choice.

Manual Activities

Hands-on activities are fundamental for a child’s plentiful educational development. These activities can include art or drawing, as well as crafts workshops or even cooking. Here are some of its benefits:

• 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

Practicing any volunteering teaches children to solve problems, to treasure what they have, to organize and plan activities, to manage tasks, leadership and to think about others and their surroundings.
