Primary Education

Comprehensive
values-based education

Throughout the primary stage at GSD, students are motivated to develop their social skills, promoting values such as respect, effort, work, equality, autonomy, and freedom. We encourage the mastery of languages through a bilingual linguistic-immersion project in English. Our aim is for students to acquire not just the language, but also the skills to thrive in a global world.

Furthermore, our cooperative-learning methodology is an opportunity for students to obtain academic achievements with our support, while empowering them as individuals to achieve success.

Our educational offering includes swimming for all students.

To achieve the proposed objectives, we enrich our curriculum with an increase of five hours per week.

How do we work?
