What we do?
Semillero is an intimate independent school on a mission to form reciprocal relationships between facilitators, learners, families and the community to support learners in their process of becoming young adults. Through transformative experiences we aim to foster curiosity for learning and collaboration through a dynamic social learning context.
We focus on the right that each individual has to develop their own integrity by fostering pathways to express their creative essence with freedom, enabling the right of its living environment to do so as well.
We design experience-based learning spaces for the learners to experiment, explore, inquire, practice, learn and perform to develop self-directed learning capabilities. We use the nature and the town as our classroom and community practices as important components for social learning that provide value to our surroundings.
Why we do it?
The teenage years are our second birth. The amount and quality of connections that human beings at this stage are building can be compared to those of a newborn. We have therefore designed an education system that carefully cultivates these connections through an emphasis on self-knowledge and reciprocity in order for students to develop their potential in themselves, others and the world.
