PRIMARY EDUCATION

Sede de Educación Primaria en el Centro Educativo Español de La Habana

Primary education comprises six academic years that form a gradual progression in the teaching-learning process, typically occurring between the ages of six and twelve. Generally, students start primary education in the calendar year in which they turn six.

Primary education is organized into three cycles, spanning six academic years. The first cycle consists of grades 1st and 2nd; the second cycle includes 3rd and 4th grades; and the third cycle encompasses 5th and 6th grades. We usually have two groups per grade, with a maximum enrollment of 15 students per class. This student-to-teacher ratio allows for a personalized learning environment.

In addition to personalized teaching, our school thrives in a multicultural environment, with students from a wide range of nationalities. From this multicultural reality, our non-Spanish-speaking students benefit from discovering the Spanish language in a natural learning space through linguistic immersion. The presence of this cultural diversity in the school also promotes exchange among students from different backgrounds, fostering respect, empathy, and tolerance in an increasingly diverse and intercultural society.

Integrated Education

The contents of the areas are mobilized from a globalizing perspective. Their purpose is to provide all children with an inclusive education that makes possible the acquisition of basic cultural elements, and learning related to oral expression, reading, writing, calculation, and audiovisual communication. Likewise, work is done with active methodologies that allow the enhancement of talent and multiple intelligences while developing digital competencies, creativity, artistic sense, affectivity, and entrepreneurship or scientific spirit in all areas. These innovative teaching alternatives are implemented in classroom spaces and in extracurricular activities that take place after the school day. This stage seeks to guarantee comprehensive training that contributes to the full development of students' personalities and capacities.

As pedagogical principles, we also aim to ensure a progressive autonomy of action for students in their environment, and the early detection of learning difficulties to allow for early individualized treatment. In addition to these principles, the school undertakes two transversal projects with a significant impact on our students. One of them is the Eco-School Project, which advocates for sustainable development and environmental education, achieving greater awareness and participation of our students in environmental issues and problems. The second center project is aimed at developing plurilingual competence, especially communicative competence in the English language. The English language strategy promoted by the school ensures a greater number of learning and job opportunities for our students in the future, allowing them to effectively navigate an interconnected world where English serves as a lingua franca.

For the teaching and assessment of the basic academic contents of the stage, the CEEH works under the organizational and methodological criteria of the Integrated Center for Distance Education (CIERD), belonging to the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of Spain. Within the curriculum, we can find the core and specific subjects contemplated at each academic level.

Our Pillars

1- Space as the third teacher

In a happy environment, our children are happy, a maxim of our teaching team and our educational project "the happiness of our students constitutes a transversal axis in our teaching."

Our students play, learn, and smile, but does only this distinguish happiness? A child are also happy when they know and accept themselves and others, when they relate appropriately to their environment, and when they develop their skills and abilities to the fullest, turning needs into learning opportunities. Here at CEEH, our students are happy, and that matters to us immensely!

2- Learning is Transforming: Personalized and Meaningful Teaching

Our students are active protagonists in their educational process. Placing the student at the center of learning is not an easy task, and our teachers are aware of the challenge. Our goal is clear: to renew and transform the school every day into an entity that enables students for life by discovering it in itself.

Our students need and have a space for authentic, experimental learning that breaks away from conventional educational models in a multicultural environment that offers endless learning possibilities. Project-Based Learning (PBL), the creation of learning environments and corners, flipped classrooms, and cooperative work distinguish our school life. Additionally, our personalized education is an additional complement that sets us apart, allowing us to diversify teaching and enabling each student to chart and establish their own path.

Learning is enhanced when you are involved when what you learn excites you, and when you are happy in your immediate learning environment... Here in primary education, we involve you, excite you, and help you discover your path, and your future!

3- Emotional education, an intersection between the heart and the mind

The school strives to promote a good school environment, essential for building a child's education. The integration of our students into the school healthily and inclusively, while also impacting their learning, is always significant, and fosters a healthy emotional evolution. 

In addition to the development of technological and communicative skills, and teamwork, our teachers stand out for their ability to motivate and comfort students, as well as to organize and lead learning situations that guarantee academic and emotional integrity in a system where the student is at the center of all processes.

In our school, we aim to promote an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie in the classroom, based on the principle that happy children always learn more and become better people. "Emotional development is as important as cognitive development" not only says the new Spanish educational law project but is also advocated by CEEH teachers, "learning should also be a pleasure."
