5 key competencies on which our educational methodology is based
At Fontenebro International School our goal is to cultivate curious and self-confident minds so that all our students can adapt to a globalized and constantly changing world. To achieve this, we have based our educational methodology on 5 key competencies that are not only limited to the academic level, but go much further and help the education we provide to be complete and comprehensive.
In this article we want you to know these five areas that students work on throughout their school life at our center so that you know how their education and preparation will be with us.
1. Cognitive skills, the basis of our educational methodology
With all our students we work on skills that we consider essential for them to never stop learning, such as critical thinking, curiosity and creativity. With this educational approach we ensure that students always have the ability to analyze situations according to their own criteria, to ask relevant questions and to see a situation from different perspectives.
We consider cognitive competencies to be one of the keys to our educational methodology because they are the ones that allow us to develop free and independent individuals with their own way of thinking.
2. Global skills for living in a multicultural world.
By working on the global skills of our students we aim to turn them into citizens who act with empathy in a globalized world. That is why we work on responsible citizenship and intercultural understanding, so that students learn to value diversity and respect the different cultures of the world.
All this learning also makes them understand that collaboration and dialogue with the different are key tools in an interconnected world. Furthermore, through this competence, with our educational methodology we also teach them the importance of social actions and of getting involved in projects committed to the environment so that they can be people who contribute positively to the world.
3. Digital skills to know how to function in a technological world.
Through digital competencies, we ensure that students have the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly digitalized world. That is why we include subjects related to digital literacy and responsibility.
But we not only consider it important that they know how to use technology, but also that they contribute to it. That is why we also include subjects related to innovation and solution design.
4. Self-leadership competencies to meet work challenges
Within the self-leadership competencies, we work with students on skills such as self-confidence, resilience and self-awareness. As a result, they are better prepared to face the different challenges that life throws at them and adapt to changes with a better attitude.
On the other hand, thanks to this educational methodology they are also able to identify their strengths and areas for improvement, which is very important to make academic, professional and personal decisions in the right direction.
5. Interpersonal competencies, the key to our educational methodology for forging healthy and lasting relationships.
The last, but not least, of the competencies we work on within our educational methodology addresses skills such as interpersonal communication, collaboration and social-emotional understanding. We hope that this article has helped you learn a little more about what it is like to learn at Fontenebro International School and we encourage you to contact us if you have any questions. We will be happy to help and guide you.
At Fontenebro International School we understand that education is not only a matter of acquiring knowledge, but of forming people capable of facing the challenges of a dynamic and diverse world. Our approach, based on the five key competencies, ensures that each student develops the necessary skills to grow as a global citizen, digitally competent, resilient, autonomous and with a deep sense of empathy and collaboration. These competencies not only ensure academic success, but also comprehensive preparation for life. We are committed to transforming education into a tool to create a positive impact in the world.
