Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

We're a progressive school that provides hands-on learning and allows students to self-direct many of their activities, We favour the outdoors as an essential learning environment and allow students to learn at their own pace. At Kaleide, children are able to decide how to spend their time, and their opinion is valued and acted on in all matters which affect them; they learn through free play, autonomy, creativity and connection to nature, within a community which is based on caring relationships and empathy.

Teaching approach of the school

We believe children are wonderfully prepared for active learning from birth; they are self-driven and intrinsically motivated to learn at every step. For them the world is an invitation to discover. This image of the child shapes our expectations of children, and the degree of freedom and responsibility we trust them with.

Care and education form a unity in our approach, as education is built on caring interactions with other children and adults. At Kaleide International School, this caring bond will ultimately encompass the world of ideas, the human-made world and the natural (or More-Than-Human) world.

Our children can take part in a diverse range of activities such as:

trans-curricular project-based learning;

hands-on workshops (by our facilitators, experts or children themselves);

lessons by facilitators;

outdoor learning activities (outings to the surrounding nature, cultural visits to La Laguna);
