As we do every year, after an intense and exciting summer, another eagerly anticipated moment arrives: the reunion with former classmates, meeting the new students, and greeting the teachers. Likewise, each school year is an opportunity to discover new things and to take on new challenges.
Today, from first thing in the morning, the hallways, classrooms, and playgrounds have been the setting for smiling faces, hugs filled with longing, and a multitude of anecdotes from the summer that has just come to an end. Everything points to the fact that this school year, 2026-2027, is going to be truly unforgettable.
Beginning the New School Year 2026-2027 with Excitement.
As part of the welcome, the students were welcomed by their teachers and accompanied by their parents. It was a very emotional moment, especially for the youngest children.
Teachers and administration have visited the students in their classrooms, asking how their summer went and about their first day of school.
An Agenda Full of Learning, Values and Experiences
Throughout this school year, there will be countless growth opportunities. Beyond the academic curriculum, our students will experience unique moments through our cultural, athletic, and community service activities. All of this will help them develop not only as good students but also as good global citizens.
Of course! We’ll once again celebrate our traditional holidays and events: Halloween, Christmas, the Spring Festival, Thanksgiving, book fairs, and much more. Each of these occasions will be an opportunity to learn, socialize, and have fun with your classmates and teachers.
Tips for Families with Young Children in the New School Year 2026-2027
We know that the first day of school can be a real rollercoaster of an emotional challenge, especially for families with young children. That’s why we’re sharing some tips from experts to help during this phase of adjustment:
1. Build Consistent Routines
Establishing daily routines from the start of the school year helps young children adjust more easily to the change that comes with starting school. Regular schedules for eating, playing, and sleeping provide a sense of security that contributes to their emotional well-being.
2. Managing the separation
For many children who are young, the first day of the school year may be the first time that they are separated from their parents for a long period of time. When it’s time to drop them off at school, it’s essential to say goodbye in way that is brief and positive, conveying security and confidence. Crying is a normal and natural reaction, but parents should show composure so that the little ones feel that they are in a safe place.
3. Promoting Autonomy
Small gestures such as letting children choose their clothes or prepare their backpacks allow them to feel more responsible and prepared for this new stage. “Parents must give small spaces of independence to encourage children’s security,” says pedagogue Eva Bach.
Tips for Families with Middle and High School Students
For middle school and high school students, the start of the school year also brings significant new challenges, both academic and personal. Here are some key tips to keep in mind:
1. Promote Organization and Planning
As students get older, the academic load also increases. Eduard Estivill, an author and neuroscience specialist, suggests that success in studies is directly related to good time planning. Having a visible calendar with exams and assignments, as well as study schedules, is key to avoiding last-minute stress.
2. Accompanying without overwhelming
Teenage years are a time when young people begin to seek more independence. Experts in psychology recommend accompanying children on their academic path without falling into overprotection. They should feel that their family is there when they need it, but also that they trust in their ability to solve problems.
3. Encourage Open Dialogue
It is important for adolescents to feel that they can share their concerns, accomplishments, and frustrations with their parents. Creating an atmosphere of trust and open communication is essential. Honest, non-judgmental conversations strengthen family bonds and help young people cope with the challenges of school.
