Kindergarten through Grade 5
Escuela de Gramática
The foundational stage: the years when children gather the facts, poems and stories that everything later is built on.
01 — The Stage
About the Grammar School
We strive to foster our students’ natural curiosity about the world and enhance their sense of wonder, with the goal of developing lifelong learners.
This is the foundational stage of learning, characterized by memorizing a broad range of facts and absorbing knowledge. In any subject, ‘grammar’ refers to its fundamental rules and building blocks.
The first step in learning anything new is mastering the foundational facts. Without this essential knowledge, deeper understanding is not possible.
02 — Character
Virtudes fundamentales
Classical education teaches objective virtues that have been long revered in the Western tradition, such as wisdom, temperance, justice, and courage.
03 — Curriculum Highlights
What a child learns here

- Educación física Movement, classical games and team sports, and the habits of a healthy body.
