Right or wrong

Our institute is at the avant-garde; we are concerned about transmitting ethical - moral values ​​to all students, teachers, and parents. It promotes the acquisition of ethical values through the help towards the weaker, the acceptance and the integration of the otherwise skilled. The objectives that we propose, through the five fields of experience, aim to achieve equal goals for everyone, based on the age and abilities of each child. Ethics education is not impossible, but it takes more time. Children in this age are like a sponge and acquire quickly. Finally participating in this Erasmus project has allowed us to learn new teaching methodologies that can be applied in our institute. A truly constructive comparison, to repeat.
