The teaching methods based on Glenn Doman’s philosophy have been applied for over fifty years in many countries using different languages with outstanding results. Confirmation of these studies has been demonstrated by the very pleasing results we have achieved. Glenn Doman created and founded the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. His reading method is based on the development of care and early stimulation in children. In order to prevent possible deficiencies, to make teaching and learning easier and reduce the development gaps in learning.

Language acquisition is the philosophical foundation of our education. One of our main priorities is that our students equally learn the four languages. With the growing cultural union between Europe and the rest of the world we are aware of the importance that our students are able to speak and write Spanish, English, German and Chinese in a natural way. The students have language classes every day; this is significantly more than the average. The four languages are taught by native speaking teachers. We use reading and writing comprehension programs. Languages are introduced in the First Stage of Pre School (from 4 months).

In this way the students are made aware from the very start of the cultures and traditions of each country, favoring a universal approach. In doing so; we enhance awareness of the cultural heritage of Europe and the World.
Our Quadriligual Education incorporates the following areas:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development:The children gain confidence, to establish positive relationships and to take interest in their environment
• Communication and Language: : The children begin learning Chinese, German, English and Spanish through stories, songs, music and movement. We use the “Jolly Phonics” a multi sensory approach to teaching literacy through synthetic phonics. Speaking and Listening – Reading-Writing, is taught using the same approach in Chinese and German.
• Mathematic Development:: Basic maths and number concepts, helping to develop logical reasoning skills, counting, number recognition and sequence using practical fun methods.
• Knowledge and understanding the World:: Building self awareness to enjoy and respect the environment.
• Creative Development:Within the specially equipped classes we nurture a child’s natural talents to explore, discover and apply their creative skills.

All the above areas are taught and supervised by qualified experienced teachers.

Music is a universal communicative activity which conveys to the listeners mood, emotions, thoughts, impressions and cultural values. Music strengthens peace, tolerance and solidarity between people.
Our European project enables the students to develop their musical talents through our instrumental and choral groups.

The Suzuki Method was conceived by Dr Shinichi Suzuki, a Japanese violinist. Suzuki noticed that children pick up their native language quickly. He reasoned that if children have the skill to acquire their native language, then they have the necessary ability to play a musical instrument.

The Suzuki Method is known primarily as a method of instrumental music-childhood education. However, this pedagogical proposal, also called Talent Education approach or mother-tongue, demonstrated through the five continents, its scope and applications are as vast as education itself.

Importantly, this method is not exclusive of other educational systems. Conversely, any methodology or pedagogical system of any area of knowledge can live and be ennobled in accordance with the principles of the Suzuki Method. And this is possible because these principles are based on the way children learn their mother tongue, in an atmosphere of love and respect.

The whole teaching of instrument, like the mother tongue should be surrounded by a positive environment of motivation, joy, honesty, discipline with love and recognition of achievements. There must be an atmosphere of order with much joy and teaching this method is carried out by the teacher-students, but also connecting with the active involvement of parents.

It is now clear that the stimulation of the child is crucial to their development in all dimensions; biological, psychological and social process. As a child grows and evolves so do their abilities, and therefore it is essential to keep in constant interaction and stimulate to their full potential. Numerous investigations have shown that children lacking in stimulation have lower school performance in relation to those who have received adequate stimulation. For this reason early stimulation plays a fundamental role in our educational programme, especially in the Infant stage. Maths is of course one of the most important subjects that our children study at school, with this in mind our stimulation programme for 2013-2014 shows great emphasis in the area of Mathematics. Logical reasoning and mental calculation are tools with which we act and interact with the world around us. It has been proven that a child with high problem solving capabilities will become more alert both in school and at home.

Doing maths mentally also helps a child to have a sharp memory and concentrate more. The child also becomes more observant with the things surrounding him/her and become more confident enabling them to overcome any fear of mathematics they may have. The better they understand numbers, the more skill they possess in the operations of arithmetic, they then progress to put these understandings and skills to productive use, helping them to meet the steadily increasing demands of daily living .
