Educational project

At Highlands School El Encinar, our private school in La Moraleja, we support students from 6 to 12 years of age in their personal growth. We seek the comprehensive development of each of them so that they reach their best version and successfully face the transition to Secondary school.

Private and bilingual school in La Moraleja:

International training

Our international model is designed to educate students as members of a global community, responsible, active, well-informed and with high communication skills.
Learning foreign languages is key to forming global citizens and competitive professionals. In addition, fWe encourage participation in different events throughout the year to bring them closer to Anglo-Saxon and Francophone culture, awakening their curiosity about the world around them.

Language teaching

Our students learn to speak, think and communicate in three languages (Spanish, English and French) within an international education framework with specialist and experienced teachers.

The primary curriculum is taught in English (50%) and Spanish (50%) and 3 weekly French sessions are introduced from 4th grade onwards.

We are an official examination centre and prepare students for the B1 (PET) certification before completing the stage.

Highlands Excellence

Personalization and talent development

Thanks to the support of tutors, teachers and a team of psychopedagogical counselors, at our private school in La Moraleja we adapt the resources that each student needs (based on their interests and taking into account their particular learning pace) so that their results are successful and thus achieve high motivation.

Critical thinking

To awaken interest, motivation and curiosity to learn, we work daily with specific strategies that promote effective thinking in our students. They develop skills to know how to analyze, reflect, compare, decide on information and be able to make their own decisions.

Our students learn mathematics applied to real situations through deductive and creative thinking. We encourage curiosity and interest in science through experimentation in the classroom, laboratories and natural environments. We promote scientific workshops, creative stimulation and the development of deductive reasoning to strengthen scientific skills.

Art and culture

Through interdisciplinary projects we include cultural and artistic content that allows students to express themselves and enhance their creativity.
We conduct art appreciation workshops at school and on visits to museums with the collaboration of external specialists to enrich curricular learning.

At our private school in La Moraleja we train comprehensive students

Formative discipline

The educators at our private school in La Moraleja work to ensure that children discover the values that underlie the rules on a daily basis, so that they act out of self-conviction and not merely because of the imposition of a regulation.

In this way, students come to understand the meaning and importance of respecting and complying with the rules for building good school coexistence.

Social action campaigns

Students participate in social projects that foster their sensitivity to the needs of others, thereby creating students who are committed to transforming society.

Sport

Through sport, students get to know themselves, learn to overcome challenges, develop willpower, the value of effort, character, and develop psychomotor, emotional, social and intellectual aspects.

At the private primary school in La Moraleja ”Highlands School: El Encinar” 4 Physical Education sessions are taught each week. And to achieve a more comprehensive development, sports programs and activities are offered such as:

Paddle tennis, basketball, volleyball and football tournaments.
Solidarity cross.
Friendship Tournament.

Digital competence

Our school seeks to gradually develop digital skills that allow students to use technology effectively and efficiently. Technology is used as a tool to increase productivity, develop creativity, and communicate ideas, without forgetting the social and ethical responsibility that comes with using it..

Computational thinking

We foster the development of logical thinking and creativity through the Lego Robótix Program. Students engage in experiential learning, solving problems by building and programming robots. This approach promotes collaboration and creativity, preparing students to solve everyday problems.

Keys to success at our private school in La Moraleja

At the Primary stage, we focus on the comprehensive development of our students. We emphasize the importance of stimulating executive functions, which are essential for students from 6 to 12 years old, in order for them to achieve optimal development in areas such as impulsiveness control, decision making, memory, and cognitive flexibility. Aspects that influence the general learning process such as reading, writing, and reasoning.

To do this:

We work with active methodologies and experiential learning.
We promote oral expression through programs and activities.
We promote creativity, critical thinking and problem solving.
We implement a formative assessment with the purpose of encouraging interest in learning.

All of this in a bilingual environment, with a specialized, highly qualified teaching team with international experience, who place the student at the center and driving force of learning.

Differentiated education with mixed learning environments

This model allows us to discover the greatness of each of our students by providing them with personalized teaching and ensuring that, by feeling comfortable in the classroom, they gain confidence and become proactive in a climate of equality, respect and freedom. In addition, this approach allows us to maximize their cognitive abilities and their academic development, achieving that 100% of our students pass their university entrance exams with flying colors and more than 98% of them access their first university choice.

On the other hand, to complete this model, education is co-educational in the Infant and Baccalaureate stages.
