Entrenaranjos International School of

Valencia

At Entrenaranjos International School Valencia we recognise the unique characteristics of each student. With this approach, and thanks to small class sizes (approximately 18 students per class), we can adapt the curriculum to the different stages of development of each child. During the education process, we provide each child with the tools needed to successfully face the future, such as knowledge of English, an ability to think critically, independence and creativity. For this reason, our education project is based on four basic cornerstones. These are: Bilingualism For more than three decades, our students have received early instruction in English. However, we have taken a great leap forward in becoming a bilingual school, with mastery of the English language as one of the mail tools of the future. Musical education Music is a preferential consideration when it comes to focussing the education of our students: musical education has a very positive role to play in the learning of numerical, logical and abstract concepts. By encouraging music, we develop our students’ grasp of mathematics. At the same time, the influence of melodic and musical study encourages discipline and the ability to study, and improves concentration and self-esteem. Furthermore, music is, of course, fundamental to the development of creativity and sensitivity. Sport and Health Sport as a medium that encourages an awareness and appreciation of the human body, the adoption of sound hygiene and eating habits, participation in games and activities devoid of any type of discrimination, the culture of effort and teamwork. Education in values Educating students in values is to participate in an authentic process of personal development and construction. Education should not be restricted to the acquisition of certain knowledge; rather, above all, it should be understood as the process of culture formation. To educate students in values is to create able, competent individuals. The aim of our centre is to prepare children to build a fairer, more tolerant world with a focus on the future.
