Early Schooling 0-3 years and the International Baccalaureate

At Nursery it is very important to respect the individual needs of the students. To understand where each child is in terms of development and maturity. In this way, at our school, we provide each child with the necessary tools to consolidate the different learning processes.

All of this is closely related to the International Baccalaureate methodology, implemented at Casvi International American School through its three programs (PYP, MYP and DP). Although it is true that this methodology does not start to be applied from the age of 3, at Casvi International American School we achieve this verticality by unifying what we put into practice from the moment our students are integrated into our school community, regardless of their age.

Within this methodology, the world of emotions is very important. It is part of the personal growth and self-esteem of each child and for this reason, in our center we work so that the children acquire self-control skills that are fundamental for socialization and for their academic, personal and professional future.
