Today, we can proudly say that we are a highly experienced community. As companions in the child’s development process, we are defined by our pedagogy of care and community work.

Collaboration between all the sectors that make up the educational community is essential. We have a huge challenge at hand: to place the integral development of the student at the highest level.

We have a lot to do but we are not afraid of the work. We are creating new active groups and participation formulas, seeking efficiency. We want to enjoy the journey while we make dreams come true.

From Basque, new generations are about to emerge that are critical of society, committed to sustainability, and creative.
