Students learn the scientific method through collaborative research projects, thereby developing their capacity for analytical thought. Any mistakes that may arise during their research are taken as learning opportunities.

The skills that our students develop are not only cognitive, but also social and emotional. A sound socioemotional foundation enables academic and artistic development to flourish.

At Hábitat Learning Community®, we recognize that children have many diverse ways of expressing themselves. For this reason, we encourage their creativity through many different channels: a wide range of audiovisual and plastic arts, music, movement, dance, and oral and written communication, among others. Our artistic, culinary, psychomotor, and music ateliers offer the children an opportunity to choose from many different “languages” to demonstrate their creativity.

We believe in the importance of pedagogic documentation as a learning tool for children and adults, and it is the most essential way that we give visibility to our work with the children. This kind of documentation allows the cognitive processes of children and adults to be understood and recorded over time. This process also allow us to conduct a reflective analysis of our metacognitive processes and our individual and collective actions. It allows us to see how we are communicating verbally and emotionally and to analyze our decisions and their effects.

Our English immersion program offers children the opportunity to learn and develop complete fluency in a second language. Students develop their language abilities by strengthening their mother tongue while learning English. We use a pedagogy based on the most recent studies, which demonstrate the importance of acquiring a foreign language from an early age.

The students learn English through the research projects and all other activities carried out during the day at our campus, where English is the language of instruction.

Our service learning program actively involves students in a wide range of experiences that benefit others and the community both within and outside our campus, while also advancing the goals the curriculum.

Based on those same foundations, learning occurs naturally at Hábitat Learning Community based on actual needs and on the children’s own curiosity and interests.

We are aware of the central role of play in childhood, and we acknowledge its importance as the primary tool for childhood learning. Play is the means whereby the child develops motor skills, creativity, and abstract thought. It is through play that children learn strategies for social interaction and to express their way of seeing and understanding the world.

In addition to academic and socioemotional learning, our community also places great value on the physical health of its members, fostering healthy eating habits in our culinary and garden atelier as well as through our sports program and the psychomotricity atelier.

Students at Hábitat Learning Community have a wide range of options to continue learning after normal school hours. They can choose from activities in our extracurricular program such as basketball, yoga, swimming, robotics, music and languages, among others.

The extracurricular classes for kindergarten 2 and 3 start from 2:35 to 3:20 p.m., and for elementary school children, from 3:35 to 4:30 p.m.

Our approach to the use of technologies is Innovative and creative, and based on future technological trends. Students put programming, robotics and their knowledge of different softwares into practice. Furthermore, in our fablab, students can create what they imagine with the support of different tools and modern equipment.
