Santa María del Pino, today
A new school culture is preparing its students
for the skills the world needs

CULTURE OF THINKING
This has turned the school into a learning showcase. The walls of the classrooms and hallways show the history of different types of learning

KEYS TO THINKING
Very practical and useful resource to open the gateway to reflection, critical thought, responsibility, and good emotional management

ROUTINES
Short, simple patterns that are easy for students to assimilate, which train the brain to make favourable connections and help in learning

HABITS OF MIND
Simple yet extremely effective strategies to encourage students to investigate, summarise, argue with evidence, and classify, among others

THINKING MAPS
Maps that help unleash thinking to structure and represent it graphically, making very useful mental associations
The School’s video
Learning in a green, healthy environment
Going to school is an oasis and a daily
dose of Vitamin N, of Nature
