Our Mission
Éco-lita's healthy, innovative, and trilingual environment strengthens students' passion for learning, teaches 21st century skills to succeed in our ever-changing world, and nurtures students' self-esteem to surpass themselves daily.
What this means in everyday life at Éco-lita:
- We make sure our students’ primary needs and emotional needs are met before even starting to teach them anything.
- New ideas are cherished and tried…even if they do not always work, and we learn from them.
- Our teachers never give up on a child. There is always a way to make a student understand.
- We do our best no matter who we are, what we are doing, where we are, or how we are feeling.
- Everybody helps everybody at Éco-lita.
- Older students are in the habit of helping little ones tie their shoelaces or zip up their jackets.
- Parents drive students to horse-backing riding and accompany us on fieldtrips.
- There is always a student who volunteers to bring a friend in if he/she falls outside.
- Staff members give and receive about 50 hugs or high-fives per day. The smiles are infinite.
- Our students and teachers come from Colombia, Bolivia, Mexico, South Africa, Great Britain, France, Taiwan, China, Guyana, India, etc. and all play together.
- We only accept win-win solutions.
- All kids take turns cleaning up the lunchroom.
- Weekly staff meetings at lunch to exchange information, discuss ideas, and share feelings.
- For the innovative strategies taken from around the world, well, you have to be part of our family to get those little secrets!
