Pre-School
The early years set the stage for a child’s future. ASLP strives to make school a positive experience for each child by providing an atmosphere that fosters growth in all areas of the child’s development. Taking into consideration the needs of young children, we provide a variety of formal-informal, large group-small group and individual activities that lay a strong foundation in all basic skills while introducing the English language as the main language of communication and instruction. The English instructional program is an “immersion” program in the early years.
Elementary School
The Elementary School lays the foundation for the core academic subjects: Math, Balanced Literacy (including Reading, Writing, Phonics, Vocabulary, and Grammar), Social Studies and Science. All students work in a variety of formats in order to build their emerging skills and abilities as young scholars. English support is offered to those students who need additional English language development. For students entering from schools outside of Spain, Spanish support is also available. Physical Education, Art and Music are offered across the Elementary program. Technology is integrated into the curriculum in each subject area as appropriate.
