We have an active values-based work that is based on respect and pleasant interactions. All students should feel included, and the operations should be characterized by participation.

The teaching is based on a language and knowledge-developing approach and aims to spark curiosity, foster a love of learning, be challenging, and provide opportunities for success based on each student's circumstances and needs.
