Pedagocical Approach
At our project, education is inspired by some of the most respected reform-educational approaches: Montessori, Waldorf, the international Forest School movement, and democratic approaches. What unites these models is the belief that children learn best when they act with self-agency, feel safe within a supportive community, and can follow their natural curiosity.
Following the Child’s Curiosity
Inspired by Maria Montessori, we create a prepared environment that allows children to choose freely from meaningful learning opportunities within a well-structured framework. This balance between freedom and structure nurtures responsibility, focus, and a growing sense of independence.
We believe that real growth happens when children can follow their interests while feeling secure within caring boundaries.
Core subjects, routines, and rituals provide orientation, while projects and open learning formats spark creativity and self-confidence.
Holistic education: head, heart, and hands
From Waldorf education we take inspiration for a holistic approach that values artistic, practical, and academic learning equally. This fosters creativity, intrinsic motivation, and the ability to build meaningful relationships.
Nature as a learning space
Drawing on the Forest School concept, the natural environment plays a central role in our everyday life. Regular experiences in nature strengthen self-confidence, motor skills, and emotional well-being, while also deepening children’s connection to the world around them.
Multilingual and intercultural learning
Our project life is shaped by three languages – German, Portuguese, and English – which children encounter in authentic contexts. This not only promotes language skills but also develops cultural openness, empathy, and cognitive flexibility
Participation and responsibility
Inspired by democratic principles, children are active participants in shaping their learning journey.
Through decision-making and shared responsibility, they develop problem-solving skills, autonomy, and a strong sense of community.
