CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF SEVILLA
A private, secular international school in Montequinto, Dos Hermanas, Seville, with English as its official language for students ages 1 to 18. Our personalized Canadian education and active methodologies foster curiosity and critical thinking, such as Montessori, Problem-Based Learning, and Project-Based Learning. Small classes in spacious, welcoming classrooms and organic food are part of our unique approach, developing global citizens in a safe, private, creative, and transformative environment.
CURRENT EDUCATION ANCHORED IN THE 20TH CENTURY
Today's education system remains anchored in a model that has barely evolved in the last 150 years. Classrooms with 25 or 30 students where everyone seems to have the same needs, methodologies that focus on memorizing concepts for exams, and keeping subjects isolated from each other. This prevents students from developing essential skills for their future, such as collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Practical non-academic knowledge in areas such as finance, entrepreneurship, or self-care is not included in the curriculum. Furthermore, afternoons filled with homework sacrifice time that should be dedicated to exploring, playing, and enjoying time with family.
OUR VISION
We offer a personalized, Canadian-inspired education with small classes using active, science-based methodologies to maximize each student's potential. We create classrooms adapted to changing needs, where collaboration replaces competition and subjects are interconnected so that what is learned has practical meaning. We also prepare students for real-life adulthood by teaching useful skills and knowledge, all in an environment where English is the official language. To balance their development, we have reduced the school day, eliminating homework, and thus facilitating a more fulfilling childhood.
EDUCATIONAL PROJECT
Our educational program is based on personalized instruction, with small groups of 7 students per teacher up to the age of 9, allowing for close attention to each student's needs. We employ active, scientifically based methodologies to stimulate critical thinking, creativity, and autonomy. Furthermore, our classrooms are designed to adapt to changing needs, promoting collaboration rather than competition and ensuring that learning is an enriching experience for all.
To make knowledge practical, we connect subjects and teach essential skills for real-life adulthood, from finance and entrepreneurship to self-care. English is our official language, and we offer a third language starting in elementary school, immersing students in a linguistic environment that prepares them for a globalized world. We also shorten the school day by eliminating homework, providing more time for family, play, and the full development of each child.
8 ADVANTAGES OF OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM:
01
PERSONALIZED EDUCATION
La ciencia nos dice que cada cerebro es único. Cada niño tiene fortalezas, intereses y talentos propios, y es imposible cuidarlos si el profesor está frente a 25 o 30 alumnos. Queremos que cada uno se sienta valorado y atendido, por eso nuestros grupos son reducidos, con 14 alumnos por grupo y un ratio de 7 alumnos por profesor hasta los 9 años. Solo así podemos potenciar de verdad sus habilidades, sus pasiones y sus posibilidades, dándoles la atención que merecen.
02
SCIENTIFICLY BASED ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES
Society is changing at an astonishing speed. The most repetitive tasks will be performed by machines, and our young people will need to be prepared for that future: skills such as the ability to think, be creative, and find solutions will be essential. That's why we use methodologies such as Montessori, Problem- Based Learning, and Project -Based Learning, in which they investigate, ask questions, and are capable of learning for themselves. They can work on projects, solve complex problems, speak in public, and collaborate with their peers. These are the skills that will truly serve them in a future where curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking will be essential.
03
CLASSROOMS ADAPTED TO NEW NEEDS
We don't want our students to feel like they're in a school 150 years ago, all standing in a line, staring silently ahead. Classrooms should be spacious and welcoming spaces where they can sit in groups, discuss ideas, show their work, and discover their artistic or personal side, not just their academic one. We want them to feel safe, comfortable, and encouraged to explore without fear of making mistakes. That's how real learning happens.
04
COLLABORATION INSTEAD OF COMPETITION
El colegio debe parecerse más a la vida real. ¿Qué sentido tiene enfrentarlos unos contra otros, cuando el mundo actual demanda personas capaces de colaborar, de compartir, de aprender de los demás? Aquí no buscamos ganadores o perdedores, sino compañeros que se apoyan, que aprenden juntos y que suman talentos. Sólo así formaremos personas más humanas, empáticas y preparadas para trabajar en equipo el día de mañana.
05
ENJOY LEARNING AND LINKING KNOWLEDGE
We promote holistic learning, connecting subjects and showing how to apply knowledge in real-life contexts. In this way, each subject becomes a practical tool for problem-solving, reinforcing motivation and the practical application of what has been learned.
Above all, we aim for students to enjoy learning, cultivating curiosity and enthusiasm for independent learning throughout their lives. This way, they develop the ability to adapt and make lifelong learning a key tool for their personal and professional success.
06
PREPARE THEM FOR REAL ADULT LIFE
We need them to understand the world that awaits them. In addition to academics, it's essential that they acquire knowledge and skills to manage their lives, laying the foundation in financial, entrepreneurial, legal, healthcare, and many other areas that will have enormous influence on their adult lives. We want them to graduate prepared to make informed decisions, to be independent and responsible.
07
ENGLISH AS THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE
At the Canadian International School of Seville, English is the official language, and all classes are taught entirely in English. This total immersion approach allows our students to speak English fluently and naturally, as if it were their first language. Additionally, starting in elementary school, we offer a third language, such as German or Chinese, further expanding their linguistic and cultural competencies.
08
SHORTER SCHOOL DAYS BY ELIMINATING HOMEWORK
We don't believe in pressuring children with endless homework. If as adults we consider a 40-hour workweek sufficient, why not apply the same logic to our students? Time outside of school is for spending time with family, playing, resting, reading for pleasure, or playing sports. Balance is key, and our job is to teach them to learn, not to sacrifice their childhood.
For this reason, all classes, activities, and materials are designed to be worked on in class, leaving the rest of the day outside of school free so that children can fully experience their childhood.
PRIVACY AND SECURITY
A private environment
and safe for
our students
The privacy and safety of our students are unwavering values at our school. The entire staff signs a confidentiality agreement to protect our students' identities. Furthermore, we strictly control access to the school: only parents or authorized individuals are allowed on our premises, and peak traffic times are supervised by dedicated staff. This way, we provide a safe and secure environment.
DIETA ECOLÓGICA Y EQUILIBRADA
Healthy eating for exceptional learning
Our students' nutrition is a fundamental pillar to ensure their maximum academic performance. Every day, our chef carefully and lovingly prepares a menu designed by a nutritionist, tailored to the children's specific growth and brain development needs. We include a variety of cereals and other key ingredients, organic and free of ultra-processed foods, fried foods, and refined sugars to offer a balanced, healthy, and tasty diet. In this way, we encourage optimal eating habits from childhood, while providing students with the energy and nutrients they need to learn and grow at their best.
