Play, learn, grow
Il Castello welcomes you
Our school is a place of cognitive and emotional growth: here, children are given the chance to develop original, free, personal, and creative thought. The orientation of our education method favors a context made of teaching, nature, innovation, and social life where children are the only protagonists, within a school without doors or windows, projected into a world made of discovery, curiosity, knowledge, autonomy, imagination, and competence.
Our school is a place of cognitive and emotional growth: here, children are given the chance to develop original, free, personal, and creative thought. The orientation of our education method favors a context made of teaching, nature, innovation, and social life where children are the only protagonists, within a school without doors or windows, projected into a world made of discovery, curiosity, knowledge, autonomy, imagination, and competence.
Our approach is a democratic, active, creative, and hands-on educational path. We are inspired by the progressive school of John Dewey, the brilliant philosopher and pedagogue who already in his time paved the way for new and effective educational strategies. Our school uses the Intelligent Method, which harnesses emotional intelligence, stimulates creativity, observation, potential, and thought, all contained within each student.
Every year, out educational project has a guiding thread with the goal of surprising children with enthusiastic proposal develops in a playful and engaging way, through indoor and outdoor workshops: botany, pet-harmony, ethics, fairy tales and storytelling, art, music, psychomotor skills, taste labs, and massage.
We follow the philosophy of vegetable gardens and peace gardens to promote a deeper harmony with oneself and the external world. The intent is to “cultivate” an education toward nature and traditions to guide the child toward gradual autonomy and healthy self-esteem. We will learn to slow down, to take time for precious thoughts and to foster group relationships. The path is enriched with pet-harmony meetings, where children come into direct contact with ponies, baby goats, and many other animals to encourage correct and respectful behaviors, spreading HEALTHY PRINCIPLES toward family, others, the new, and the different, for the sake of a healthy and serene growth of the child and those around them.
Within our team, specialized figures are essential: psychomotor therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, and pedagogists, who help better support any challenges that may arise.
