PHILOSOPHY AND PRINCIPLES
Educating has never been an easy task, but we believe that today's parents face more challenges than ever.Furthermore, very often we have to navigate against the current because the family seems to be out of fashion.
We want to help parents be aware, know how to choose and decide for themselves what they want for their children. And don't be influenced by:
-
The bombardment of information lacking scientific bases and that often contradict each other.
-
Public figures, as well as media and entertainment media that sometimes promote anti-values such as materialism, individualism, violence, selfishness or frivolity.
-
The fears and anguish generated by the high expectations that we impose on ourselves and on us when it comes to educating.
-
The dissemination of currents of thought that attack the family and education in values.
Our principles:
1. We believe that parents are the backbone of the family, being one of the most influential models for their children and those in charge of transmitting to them a scale of values so that they becomeethical and responsible citizens.
2. We consider that the family is the ideal environment where human beings learn to relate to others, with themselves and with the world around them.
3. We understand bymoral values the set of beliefs, convictions and ethical standards of a person that guide their way of being and their behavior, having a great impact on its social, mental, emotional and human well-being.
4. We maintain that both parents and children have theability to develop and learn at whatever life stage they are in.
5. We defend acomprehensive education in which parents, teachers and society collaborate together in the development of children and young people.
