Launch Into Learning

We place great emphasis on the environment, which we recognize for its potential to inspire children. A pristine classroom environment filled with order and beauty, free from clutter, where every material is considered for its purpose, is conducive to peace and better learning.

We are also committed to instilling organizational skills, manners, and a strong sense of responsibility in our students.  Virtues such as compassion are equally meaningful as they strengthen character.

Why Language
Immersion?

Children learn a language intuitively by being immersed in it. We all learn this way from our parents, and it is the simplest and most effective way to learn a new language. The quantity of words a child is exposed to and the frequency of exposure have a direct influence on how fast that child will learn a language on both a receptive and an expressive level.

INTERNATIONAL
CURRICULUM

Edu1st VESS is a bilingual international curriculum that promotes critical thinking in children. It follows the Making Thinking Visible Approach of teaching from Project Zero at Harvard University.

Edu1st VESS

Edu1st VESS is a bilingual curriculum approved for Florida’s VPK Programs. It is an eclectic holistic approach to learning. Our curriculum takes into account and integrates the academic, social and emotional development of the child so that they may reach maturity in all these areas. VESS’ main objective is fostering in each child the thinking and life skills necessary to lead a Meaningful Life with Balance and Wisdom.
This curriculum combines all the fundamentals that children need during the most crucial neurological stage of their lives in order to endow each child with the necessary habits of mind and thinking and life skills to lead a good and productive live.
Infancy and early childhood is the ideal time to immerse your child in a foreign language. Between birth and five years old is when the human brain is hardwired to learn language and most receptive to acquiring the phonemes, grammar, and vocabulary of multiple languages. After age five, this critical window closes and it becomes much harder to learn a new language.
