Balanced Life with Meaning and Wisdom
In Foundation Stage our students learnthrough an investigative approach using the VESS curriculum:
VESS means Meaningful Life with Balance and Wisdom. VESS is a Visionary Educational Model that brings together the best educational programs around the world harmoniously integrated with ours and the PEP methodology (Thinking as a Pedagogical Strategy). This model understands that the school and the academic life should go beyond learning contents. Content is still important but the development of the individual with spiritual, emotional, social, personal, intellectual, and physical balance is far more important so they can reach matureness in all of these areas.
We are committed to creating a culture of thinking and developing habits of mind using thinking as a pedagogical tool, fostering analytical, critical, and creative thinking; helping children in their task of building the mind from their childhood until adulthood.
The VESS Educational Model is successful because it knows and works with the natural principles of the child’s development and response to the needs of early childhood in a global society that faces many changes as well as social and environmental challenges.
Its flexibility provides a frame of work which can be incorporated into any curriculum and/or educational program. It is an educational tool that supports and expands the educator’s methodological alternatives.
VESS main objective: To combine all the basics that children need during the most crucial neurological stage of their lives in order to encourage to each child habits of minds, thoughts, and skills needed to lead a full life with balance and wisdom.
