The Becoming Education Model<\/span><\/h2>\n

We believe that every child thrives best when they have meaningful experiences, authentic relationships <\/strong>and an environment that nurtures their natural curiosity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is precisely this curiosity that we channel into energy for learning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our educational model is rooted in sound pedagogical principles<\/strong>, backed by neuroscience: children learn best through direct experience<\/strong>, by feeling positive emotions<\/strong> and by sharing their journey<\/strong> with their peers.<\/p>\n

That is why we have created an environment where emotions and learning go hand in hand<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”box-affiancati waypoint-trigger”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”10052″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” el_class=”immagine fade fade__alt fade–sx no-margin-bottom”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784712769{background-color: #F7F7F7 !important;}” el_class=”testo fade fade__alt fade–dx no-margin-bottom giallo-sfondo-pieno”]Peter Pan Preschool and the English Primary School form a continuous pathway, from Preschool to Primary. English is part of the children\u2019s lives from day one: full immersion at Preschool, structured bilingualism and Cambridge accreditation at Primary. Our approach is inspired by the Montessori method and active learning methodologies, integrating STEAM, coding and robotics.<\/p>\n

A journey that develops over time, adapting to the children, not the other way round.<\/p>\n

Teachers act as guides and facilitators<\/strong>, supporting each child in nurturing their own interests and becoming a curious, responsible citizen who is open to the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_raw_html css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”verde-sfondo border-radius-sezione-top border-radius-sezione-bottom”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]<\/p>\n

The Foundations<\/h2>\n

The vision and principles that guide every decision we make.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

The heart of our approach<\/h3>\n

We transform children\u2019s natural curiosity into energy for learning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Experiences, relationships and an environment that celebrates each child\u2019s uniqueness: this is how true growth happens.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

A journey that evolves over time<\/h3>\n

Learning grows with the child: it is consolidated, deepened and becomes a skill<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

A school that fosters growth<\/h3>\n

A journey that supports every child in their personal, emotional and cognitive development<\/strong>, building independence, confidence and a desire to learn.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784784380{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

An international, English-speaking environment<\/h3>\n

English is the language of everyday life<\/strong>. Children learn it naturally, through experiences, play and relationships, developing confidence and an openness to the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”border-radius-40 img-mobile img-mobile–verticale-2-3″ width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1788956818875{margin-right: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;margin-left: 15px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/peterpanenglishschool.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/peter-pan-fondamenta.webp?id=10205) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_raw_html css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”giallo-sfondo border-radius-sezione-top border-radius-sezione-bottom”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]<\/p>\n

How we learn every day<\/h2>\n

Active teaching methods that put children at the centre.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784811466{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Learning by doing<\/h3>\n

Children learn through experience. They observe, try things out and experiment: this is how they build authentic and lasting knowledge<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784853270{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Learning together<\/h3>\n

Collaboration is an essential part of our method. Through the buddy system<\/strong>, children of different ages grow together: the older ones guide, the younger ones feel supported, and everyone learns through these relationships.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784826427{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Starting with curiosity<\/h3>\n

All learning begins with a question. Children explore, make hypotheses, discover and rethink, becoming the protagonists of their own learning journey<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784866548{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Independence and the Montessori method<\/h3>\n

At the Preschool, drawing inspiration from Montessori philosophy, we encourage children to do things for themselves<\/strong>. Adults guide without taking over, creating the conditions for every child to act, explore and build confidence in their own abilities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784839438{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Learning that develops over time<\/h3>\n

Experiences are revisited and explored in greater depth. What is discovered is consolidated, transforming into competence<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784878048{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Cambridge International Programme and the English National Curriculum<\/h3>\n

The English Primary School is a certified Cambridge International School, which means that the English curriculum must include at least two subjects from the Cambridge programme: we have chosen English as a Second Language and Global Perspectives for Years 4 and 5.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_raw_html css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”giallo-sfondo border-radius-sezione-top border-radius-sezione-bottom”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]<\/p>\n

Growing as people<\/h2>\n

Not just learning, but becoming.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784921994{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Independence and confidence<\/h3>\n

Every child is encouraged to do things for themselves<\/strong>. Through everyday experiences, they build self-assurance, develop confidence in their own abilities and learn to tackle small challenges with composure.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784947999{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Discovering One\u2019s Potential<\/h3>\n

We help each child to get to<\/strong> know themselves<\/strong>. We nurture their natural inclinations, offer support when they face difficulties, and guide them in developing curiosity, self-confidence and a desire to grow.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784908916{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Emotions and relationships<\/h3>\n

Learning to feel at ease with oneself and with others is the first step towards growing up. We help children to recognise their emotions<\/strong>, express them and build positive relationships, whilst respecting themselves and others.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1788784935498{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Growth and Observation<\/h3>\n

We support each child on their own journey, celebrating their progress and respecting their individual pace of development<\/strong>.

Outdoor Education<\/h3>\n

Outdoor experiences are an integral part of our educational programme.
