Kindergarten (1-6 years)
Emotional development of students from an early age is unusually important for all future life and learning, because personal attention, designed to give every child a feeling of happiness and peace, is considered a top priority in the work of the children's center (Early Education). The active use of neurodidactics, modern technical means and tools, experienced qualified teachers, a smooth immersion in the language world of English - these are the secrets of the success of work in this age group. Children begin to learn English almost from the first year, and by the age of 5, 50% of their day is spent in this language, so that in the process of growing up, students become virtually bilingual.
The tuition fee at Colegio Base depends on the chosen program (prices are per month):
- Kindergarten and school preparation = € 522
- 1-2 class = 585 €.
Primary School ( Primary Education, 6-12 years)
Primary education is built on the “firm” principle of neurodidactics for school, which helps young students to easily, smoothly, and effectively enter the educational process.
Already in grades 1-4, students get used to working with the iPad, and starting from grade 5, each student must constantly learn using a personal tablet, both in the classroom and at home. Many tasks, additional materials, online services and educational platforms (including robotics, which is considered an interdisciplinary course) are given via the iPad.
The maximum attention is paid to the skills and knowledge that children will need in their further education:
- Knowledge of languages (English, Spanish)
- Logical and mathematical thinking, search for causal relationships
- Digital skills
- Critical thinking
- The ability to distribute tasks and manage their time (time management).
English already occupies about 50% of the school day of the students , serves as the main language on several subjects. This allows students at the end of grade 6 to successfully pass the Trinity exam (ISE I, equivalent to B1). From the 5th grade, you can begin to learn a second foreign language: German or French.

Meals for children during the day are prepared by professional chefs in their own dining room.: This is a balanced diet based on Mediterranean cuisine, allowing for a separate menu for children with medical/dietary prescriptions.
