Our Results-Driven Philosophy

An Entrepreneurial Mindset to Excel Globally

Aligned with the International Baccalaureate Organization, which certifies our Primary Years Programme, Gurilandia aims to equip our students with the necessary skills to excel in our globalized world while promoting intercultural understanding. These skills include critical thinking, risk-taking, curiosity, and effective communication. In addition, we strive to develop an entrepreneurial mindset that will give our students a competitive edge. All of this is reflected in the 10 attributes of the IB learner profile which are developed at school.

Fostering 21st Century Skills for Academic & Career Success

Communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking are essential skills that must be cultivated to succeed in the modern workplace. The 4Cs approach at Gurilandia is applied in every aspect of our differentiated curriculum and students' daily lives, and helps them to develop courage, resilience, empathy, and altruism, as well as lateral thinking and the ability to easily work with others.

A Spiral Curriculum for Knowledge Consolidation & Skill Retention

Our Early Years and Elementary School curriculum works as a spiral of knowledge as students progress from the earlier stages to the last years of school. This spiral approach to education presents key concepts repeatedly throughout the learning process, offering layers of increased complexity and applying knowledge in new contexts. This approach reinforces and consolidates previous learnings and promotes skill retention in subsequent school years.

Active Methodologies for Academic & Personal Excellence

Our educational program offers an active, hands-on approach in all disciplines. This means that the student is an active participant in the learning process. This contributes to fostering autonomous students who are aware of their strengths and areas of improvement and are better positioned to achieve their maximum potential.

Sports to Cultivate the Body & Strengthen the Mind

Sports are an integral part of the curriculum at our school. Sporting activities are fun and promote health and well-being, increasing students' motivation and self-esteem, which have a positive effect on academic results. Additionally, sports develop key life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship. Sports are available as curricular and extracurricular activities in our school. With dedicated in-house sports training, many of our students become expert athletes, gaining national and international recognition.

Arts to Nurture Talents & the Imagination

The arts cultivate students' self-confidence and awareness through creative expression, contributing to their overall growth and learning. Research shows that nurturing creativity through performing and visual arts improves student well-being and learning engagement. We offer students instrumental music, dance, drama, and visual arts classes. Our arts program enriches academic studies, fostering divergent thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Facilities Designed for a Future-Proof Education

Our schools' architectural design brings the demands of our curriculum, focused on 21st-century skills, closer to the natural world. This synergy creates an environment that fosters collaboration, resilience, and adaptability, skills that are essential for success in our ever-changing world. Our belief in the potential of learning anywhere is reflected in the diverse indoor and outdoor learning spaces we offer, all designed to enhance educational experiences.

Preparing Future Leaders with Emotional Skills Training

At Gurilandia, the development of emotional skills is as important for student development as academics. We cultivate essential skills for personal success and professional achievement in a unique emotional intelligence program with our team of psychologists that starts from the Early Years and is offered on a weekly basis. We want to develop excellent students who are also kind human beings, prepared to excel in their future studies, personal lives, and careers.

Technology & Digital Proficiency for Future Readiness

Students must be tech-savvy to succeed in our ever-changing, globalised world. With this in mind, Gurilandia integrates technology into the curriculum from a very early age. Our teaching focuses on digital literacy, keeping up with technological advancements and the way they are impacting the world.
