The Montessori approach is based on experiential learning and the active participation of children in the daily activities of our school.
Children are encouraged and supported in acquiring simple, practical skills such as dressing and undressing themselves, setting the table, serving food, pouring water, and cleaning the classroom.
At Emmer School, teachers are trained to embody the true meaning of the word educate, which comes from the Latin educere, meaning "to lead out"—promoting an educational approach that values each child's individuality. In our school, the role of the adult is to serve as a guide rather than a transmitter of knowledge.
Inspired by Montessori’s learning theories, children at Emmer School work in teams, applying their individual skills while collaborating to solve everyday problems—accompanied by adults who believe in them and encourage them.
Bilingualism involves teaching and using two languages in a balanced and integrated way, encouraging children to learn and use both languages naturally.
This approach is implemented through educational activities, games, stories, songs, and other engaging experiences in both languages.
Learning a second language is not just about listening, understanding, and communicating—it’s about connecting with a culture different from one’s own. This helps children develop neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to adapt to external stimuli.
At Emmer School, teachers speak English in an immersive and non-instructional way. Bilingualism in our school not only fosters language skills but also enriches the child’s overall cognitive, social, and cultural development. Implemented effectively, it leads to more complete education and better preparation for a globalized world.
At Emmer School, children explore the world around them through weekly city outings.
Thanks to the annual planning and organization of these trips, once a week teachers take students to discover museums, historic buildings, public squares, interactive exhibits, adventure parks, theaters, and more.
School outings give children the chance to engage with their peers outside the traditional classroom, where they learn to cooperate, share experiences, and develop key social skills such as communication, empathy, and conflict management.
Learning outside the classroom helps children self-regulate and adapt to different situations. Field trips stimulate curiosity, encouraging children to ask questions and explore new topics.
Direct exposure to new places, people, and experiences broadens their world and nurtures a love of learning.
During these city excursions, children interact with teachers in a more informal and dynamic setting, helping build bonds of trust and affection that support their emotional development.
At Emmer School, movement is integrated into all activities to support the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development of children.
The benefits go beyond coordination, balance, muscle tone, and strength—children also improve in concentration, creativity, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and stress management.
Our educational approach, which includes motor development, is especially effective for children with special educational needs or different learning styles, offering a more complete and engaging education that fosters well-rounded and harmonious growth.
Based on motor development, tone regulation, and hand-eye coordination, children at Emmer School learn the foundations of writing through a specific method that supports the acquisition of graphic expression.
Once a week, teachers lead a project focused on psychomotor skills and pre-writing. These activities work in synergy to help children “leave a mark” with clear and intentional graphic signs, building the essential prerequisites for reading and writing.
The end-of-program journal is a photographic and narrative collection of the educational journey children experience at Emmer School.
It tells the story of the entire journey, from the first days of school up to graduation day, illustrating the educational method and activities carried out in a personalized way, so that each child can revisit the memories of their own experience.
