Our learning approach

At Colegio Terranova, learning is personalized and driven by each student’s interests, empowering every learner to explore, grow, and thrive.

 

Guided by our Learning.First approach, students engage in an inquiry-driven, student-centered environment at every stage, embodying the attributes of the IB Learner Profile as they grow into reflective, principled, and globally-minded individuals.

 

As an IB-authorized school fully aligned with national regulations, we provide pathways that adapt to each learner’s needs, ensuring inclusivity, engagement, and the freedom to explore their potential.

IB Learner profile

At Colegio Terranova, learners think critically, solve complex problems, and engage in rigorous IB programmes, becoming culturally aware and globally minded in a rapidly changing world.

Where learning comes first

Most schools talk about what they teach. We focus on how your child learns. Through the Learning.First™ approach, students reflect on their progress, explore new approaches and make decisions that drive their growth.

Curiosity fuels our learning Confidence drives lifelong learning The power of 'Good Struggles' Teachers as co-pilots

Curiosity fuels our learning

The best learning happens when students are actively engaged. We ignite curiosity through hands-on projects and inquiry-based learning, making learning exciting, memorable and full of exploration.

Confidence drives lifelong learning

Our students trust in their abilities, build confidence and lead their way forward. This mindset helps them believe they can learn and achieve anything, fostering a love for lifelong learning.

The power of 'Good Struggles'

We believe great learning happens just beyond the comfort zone. That’s why we create purposeful challenges, or 'good struggles', that help students stay motivated while they grow. Through these experiences, students build resilience, solve problems, and learn to keep going – even when it’s hard.

Teachers as co-pilots

Learning here is a partnership. Teachers work alongside students as guides, helping them navigate choices, embrace good struggles, inspire those 'aha' Amazing Learning moments of self-discovery and grow in confidence.

Measuring the quality of learning

We use the International Schools Partnership’s proven Learning Improvement Process (LIP) to ensure the quality of learning is continuously improving. This framework combines evidence, reflection and action, so teachers and leaders can focus on what makes the greatest difference for every learner. It means teaching is always evolving, learning experiences are continuously refined, and progress is measured against clear standards. For families, it gives confidence that your child’s education is guided by a framework built on evidence, designed for improvement and proven across a global community of schools.
