Nursery

In our Nursery, an experienced and dedicated team develops high quality practices that enhance the early development of children, in an affectionate, safe and comfortable environment.

We assume a pedagogical approach that respects the individuality of each child and provides opportunities to interact with their peers and with the context that surrounds them, hence starting to build their knowledge about the world and about themselves.

We encourage interactions that combine caring and educating, ensuring the satisfaction of children´s basic needs – hygiene, food, sleep – but also organising places and time in a pedagogically stimulating way that promotes the development of socio-emotional and communication skills, curiosity and exploration, security, self-esteem and learning.

We have a differentiating project developed by specialised teachers who guarantee early quality in terms of the English language, plastic expression, music and psychomotricity.

Preschool

Our preschool project values each child, recognises their ability to be subjects and agents in the educational process, to build their own development and learning, strengthening their relationship with themselves, with others and with the world. The development and learning take place in a holistic form, interconnecting the various dimensions.

We provide a rich and interactive environment in our preschool classrooms, creating learning settings that stimulate the child´s development, with an explicit educational intention. We value their previous experiences, their knowledge, and skills, looking to contribute to the development of their maximum potential: motor, social, emotional, cognitive and linguistic.

We support inclusion and diversity, welcoming and respecting all children and all families, in a collaborative environment that encourages the participation of the whole school community and a close connection with the local community.

We educate safe, confident, and autonomous children, with self-esteem, available to learn, curious and creative, capable of solving problems and with good social and communication skills.

Our project respects the Curricular Guidelines for preschool Education, addressing the contents areas – Personal and Social Training, Expression and Communication and knowledge of the world – in an integrated and globalising manner, enriching them with specific curricular activities such as English, visual arts, music and physical education.

Primary School

Our primary School offers a solid pedagogical proposal based on active methodologies and the development of a project of quality that educates children who are already active, autonomous, responsible, persevering, and outdoing citizens, that excel themselves supportive, curious, reflective, interventional and entrepreneurial.

Our students benefit from individualised support, valuing their previous experiences, their interests and their unique characteristics, recognising their abilities and believing that they should be co-builders of their own learning. We propose a participative pedagogy in which students are invited to build relevant learning, within reach of diversified, integrative and stimulating activities and projects.

In order to promote educational success, we offer individual or small group support to students – Tutoring.

Our educational project anticipates the planning of activities and the awareness of projects that cover the areas of abilities published in the Students Leaving Compulsory school age Profile. However, we enrich our curriculum with specific knowledge, skills and attitudes that we consider relevant in the training of our students: daily English, music, visual arts, information and communication technologies (ICT), environmental and sustainability education and food education.

Preparatory School

Preparatory School is a transition period between childhood and pre-adolescence, at Colégio Quadrante, students benefit from a gradual and individualised adaptation, where growth is based on commitment, responsibility, autonomy and motivation.

The considerable range of disciplinary areas and the teaching team facilitate the development of students within the 21st century skills, where interdisciplinarity, project work, education for citizenship, practical and experimental work, information and communication technologies and the arts are valued.

Preparatory students acquire the interventional and entrepreneurial ability, develop critical reflection and, through the sharing of knowledge, stimulate discovery, creativity and ecological awareness.

We value the active and central role of the student in the learning process. We use active methodologies and inter and transdisciplinary work projects. We promote innovative classes, in diverse settings, inside and outside the school.

In order to promote educational success, we offer individual or small group support to students – Tutoring.

Our preparatory school has a project that ensures the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes published in the Preparatory school Essential Learning, guided by the Students Leaving Compulsory school age Profile.
