We have two private chats with the parents. In the first chat room, we post daily photos and videos from school, and in the second chat room, we post weekly reports on the children's activities, lessons, and achievements. Once a school module is completed, we send parents a comprehensive report on their child's progress, the challenges they have faced and the successes they have achieved.
The school employs a professional psychologist to whom all participants in the educational process, including parents, can turn for individual consultations. The tutor supports the educational strategy of the child. In the form of self-study time children do homework and exercises for participation in learning together with the tutor. We regularly organize school holidays with the participation of children and parents, parent meetings in the form of networking, picnics in the nature with the whole school.
We support children's initiative by giving them the opportunity to propose activities and changes in the school. For example, elementary school students organized a business day and a self-management day, and held workshops for preschoolers. Children can also choose museums to visit. During the forest fires in Portugal, we took food and water to the fire station as a school-wide initiative to support the community environment.
As a Cambridge Curriculum school, we provide quality education by conducting regular progress tests to assess the level of mastery of topics. We include difficult topics in the self-study period where we help students to master them. This ensures that you pass the Cambridge exams and receive a certificate.
Cambridge Subject Programmes are updated annually in line with global trends, and we actively incorporate current trends into our teaching. In January, we focused on technology and artificial intelligence, culminating in a forum with invited experts on the potential of AI in education. We also recently held a tutorial on critical thinking, where we learned how to analyze information and separate facts from manipulation.
We are a partner of the non-profit organization Association Jornada. Together with Jornada we organize modern, relevant educational events. At the "Schools and AI" forum, our teachers co-authored the AI Toolbox - a collection of lessons that will help students of different ages around the world learn about the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence.
Our teachers also receive regular professional development in European Union countries. For example, during a training session in Estonia on game-based learning methods, they developed an educational game called "The Navigator's Journey" about Portugal's great discoveries, which is available for anyone to download.
