Why Alcaparros?
The new generations face the challenge of becoming individuals who contribute to the development of their community and environment, that is why we create spaces where we facilitate students to lead processes to belong to a global culture, with ethical training and ecological awareness.
Active Learning
Active learning is the cornerstone of our educational project, because it favors the development of human potential. Through active learning, children are free to choose and manipulate materials, express ideas, make plans and projects based on their own interests, make choices, make decisions, and talk and reflect on what they do.
