Educational model

Cumbres International School México

Educational and pedagogical model

There are two models that guide our steps. The educational model reflects our essence, that is, the mission, principles and purposes that have characterized us for more than 65 years. The pedagogical model is the way in which we conceive the learning of our students. The latter has recently been updated, moving away from traditional methods. Our model focuses on learning and not on teaching, that is to say, we seek for students to be the protagonists of their own learning story and that they learn in a collaborative, active and reflective way.

The most important elements of our model are the following:

 Learning through CAR methodologies (cooperative, active and reflective).

 Own approaches in the teaching of English, mathematics, language, technology and science.

 Close accompaniment of the teacher and trainer.

 Development of 10 life skills.

 Training environments that motivate learning and encourage collaborative work.

Formative purposes

 Know, live and transmit a joyful faith.
