Aprendizaje colaborativo: con clases pequeñas y diferentes enfoques de aprendizaje (como el aprendizaje basado en proyectos, múltiples modalidades, estilos de aprendizaje), se alienta a los niños a trabajar juntos para resolver problemas.

What are our parents saying?
"It's very small and tight knit. The parents and staff interact a lot and have a lot of say in what things are do and in the actual planning of school events. The staff and teachers are very skilled. I feel like it's a family...
At Alma Fuerte, you get a feel that you are part of the planning the family, as many parents are, and the staff are so receptive to parent input! There are lots of opportunities to get involved here! I think thats most important that the kids see you are intimately involved with the school and Alma Fuerte is ripe ground for being involved as a parent in this way, if you so choose."
"This school develops strong character in its students, like integrity, compassion and respect. This is a high priority for a school working toward contributing, innovative entrepreneurs. Leadership at this school is effective. Good response time and willingness to discuss ideas."
"This school develops strong character in its students, like integrity, compassion and respect. I like that they focus individually on the child building their skills in social-emotional and academic learning, as well as the school overall is committed to diversity, inclusion, respect, excellence, learning, and having fun."
