Our mission is to contribute to the individual and social development of each child, encouraging them to increase their autonomy and full potential to the extreme, at the same time they find out themselves as active elements on their own growth process.
With a school environment that reflects our pedagogical practice, PDG School has areas planned to attend the special needs of each age, always considering the contact with nature. Our team consists of teachers with graduate and postgraduate degrees in Pedagogy, Psychology and Psychomotricity.
Regarding ecology, we work with three approaches: the environmental approach, involving hands-on activities- such as taking care of the vegetable garden and
reducing the consumption in general; the individual approach – with yoga and meditation, allowing the kids to balance body and mind; and the social approach,
regarding the interaction with different communities.
For us, art, music and the activities with body and movement are main languages for the development of the human being’s single expressions, like creativity, mpathy, curiosity and innovation.
Our goal is to lead the student to increase his worldview and his interaction with the world, experiencing different cultures and the second language acquisition since his first year of life.
We believe in the power that the technology holds in the learning process, transforming our teaching methods in four topics: access to information, interactivity, customizing tools and continuous development of the information management.
We believe that eating healthy food must be encouraged since early childhood. Therefore, our students eat a healthy diet since their early years. The nutritionist carefully elaborates the menu. Our main concern is the reduction of industrial products consumption.
During snack time we mainly provide fruits and cereals. At lunch time, we offer a wide variety of food and a balanced diet, regarding the food groups.
