At Woodlands Junior School, the education and learning process is continued. A fully bilingual education is imparted, using a different classroom for each language (English and Spanish), so that students may be totally immersed in each language environment. In addition to this, in order to encourage the development of multiple intelligences, the school offers Sports, Physical Education, IT, Music, Art, Drama, Dance, Taekwon-do lessons, as well as Communication and Health Workshops.
At Woodlands we are based on Vygotsky's concept of "Zone of Proximal Development", defined as "the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers"(Vygotsky, 1978, p86).
We also offer pedagogical and psychological support.
Our aim is to teach our students the concept of quality of life, as well as the physical, psychological and social benefits of practising sports in healthy conditions.
By teaching each sport with respect to its rules, we aim to educate noble and confident athletes. Competition is seen as an internal motivation leading to personal improvement. Students are taught fair play, as well as both to win and to lose.
In Junior School, the aim of Physical Education and Sports is for students to socialize, participate in and enjoy physical activity.
The most practised sports are Rugby and Soccer for boys, Hockey and Handball for girls and Athletics for both. The School takes part in the Interschool Sports League Liga Intercolegial de Deportes (L.I.D.).
School camps are also part of our curriculum from Grade 1 to Grade 5. Integration, sense of belonging, sharing and autonomy are the pillars of the Camp Programme.
We believe that small groups of students allow a better student-teacher interaction.
