School Life
Well-being
At AIS we believe that active children are healthier and gifted with multiple skills. Therefore, we ensure the daily contact of our children with a context where nature is valued and present.
Our students can learn and enjoy outdoor spaces that include a Tree House, an Educational Garden, an Educational Farm. They will be able to play and experiment in an outdoor teaching context that favours challenge, freedom and autonomy, but also comfort, well-being and safety.
We aim to develop in our students a deep ecological awareness, together with respect for themselves, for others and for the common home we all share. We propose a daily accompaniment based on a holistic vision of the child and, in this sense, its socio-emotional development will be cared for and preserved.
