This course combines sports, creative and technological activities, designed for students to develop SEK Education Group competencies, multicultural empathy, growth mindset, a sense of purpose and a forward-looking attitude.

All the activities are adapted to each age group and are designed to foster children’s physical, intellectual, social and emotional development. Experiences are based on the educational objectives that are the hallmark of SEK Group and adhere to the IB teaching ethos.
The learning spaces are innovative and attractive for students, with outdoor activities (learning in the forest, art, tennis), indoor activities (cooking, robotics) and activities outside the school (weekly outings).

Learning by Doing is a course where students learn through experimentation, in a playful way, in natural spaces and in a relaxed atmosphere.

Throughout the week the students will enjoy different activities combining the different STEAM disciplines (science, technology, mathematics or robotics) with art and creativity (cooking, circus, art, music) and with sports (tennis, padel tennis and water activities)

An outing is scheduled every week.

Activities will be carried out combining the two languages of instruction of the school, Spanish and English, with activities in German and English.
