Elementary years are fundamental for the cognitive, social and emotional development of the students. Step by step, we help our students to develop structural and logical thinking, and to establish the habits that they began to learn in the previous stage, becoming autonomous and responsible learners.
These are years where the personality is shaped, deserving all the attention, dedication, and efforts from their families and the school community to accompany them in this continuous and fascinating process of life.
The academic program in Elementary School lays the groundwork for a lifetime of learning, focusing on the development of essential skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and critical thinking. Through engaging and hands-on activities, students explore the wonders of science, history, and art, fostering curiosity and a love for discovery. The program is designed to build confidence and independence, while nurturing collaboration and creativity in every learning experience.
In Mater Salvatoris we foster in students the practice of the virtues needed for both individual and teamwork: learn to study, to comprehend, to create, to relate transversally different concepts and subjects, to memorize, to be steady, to persevere, to listen and talk, to share and respect, to collaborate, to resolve situations, to work with care, precision, effort and neatness.
This environment helps them to grow in self-confidence, critical thinking, personal initiative, interest in learning further, logic and creativity.
In Elementary School, spiritual formation begins with helping children experience God’s love in a joyful and nurturing way. At Mater Salvatoris, students learn to pray and build a personal connection with Jesus through simple, moments of prayer, participation in the Liturgy, and celebrations of the Eucharist. They are introduced to the sacraments as beautiful gifts from God, fostering their understanding of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.
Through stories of Mary, and the lives of the saints, children are inspired by examples of love, faith, and virtue. This stage lays the foundation for a tender and trusting relationship with God, encouraging each child to grow in faith and discover the joy of living as a child of God.
