THE “SAN CARLO METHOD” REVOLVES AROUND THE CHILD
Children aged two, three, four and five and their families join a learning projects designed to promote the full development of the children’s personalities. Learning occurs through a scientifically proven interactive process (“learning by doing”) that promotes the child’s physical, social, emotional, spiritual and cognitive development.
This integrated system forms an educational offering that respects, valorizes and looks after the needs of each child as she or he develops his or her own identity and sense of uniqueness.
A place where children, through multiple experiences, find the best conditions in which to express themselves, socialize and build and enrich their Self.
An approach that revolves around the child, multiculturalism and personalized learning paths, designed to prepare children to become citizens of tomorrow’s world, able to think globally and act locally.

Citizenship and multiculturalism
The innovative intercultural approach: Italian, English... and a little Chinese
The learning path is 50% in Italian and 50% in English.
Small children learn a new language through a natural, unconscious process, by living concrete experiences that involve them, guided by the teachers.
Since academic year 2013-2014, the curriculum has included Chinese, taught by native Chinese-speaking teachers.
Multilingualism and multiculturalism
The educational value of routines and times
The school day is marked by regular intervals, recurrent learning moments that serve to create a “safe base” that favors the development of each child’s autonomy.
The routines are designed to reinforce caring, well-being and affective relationships.
