regeneration is caring
Regeneration means creating the conditions for life to thrive. Educating for regeneration means thinking in terms of living systems, acting with ethical responsibility, and nourishing the capacity to relate to others.
Regeneration is about the future. It means equipping young people to prosper in a world of new jobs, technologies, and challenges, so they can contribute in a critical and conscious way. This is the backbone of our school and the basis of what, how, and with whom we learn.
our educational model
We are based on the Portuguese national curriculum, utilizing its flexibility to create a holistic pedagogical vision.
Interdisciplinarity: Development of thematic projects that bridge different areas of knowledge.
Connection to the Territory: A constant symbiosis with local culture and regional challenges. Students are challenged to find solutions for real-world problems in the local community.
Learning Environments: Classes held both inside the classroom and outdoors—in nature and within the community.
We believe that education for regeneration requires a methodology that understands change from the "inside out"—from the school to the community, and from the individual to the world.
Conscious Technology: Using technological tools in a balanced, ethical manner with a clear educational purpose.
Wholesome Development: Promoting a balance between intellect, body, emotions, creativity, and ecological awareness.
School Culture: A dynamic, joyful environment based on dialogue and the active participation of students in caring for their surroundings. We believe in freedom with responsibility.
