At the heart of La Piazza lies a passion for learning that blends the Reggio Emilia philosophy with Project-Based Learning. We believe that every child is a capable, curious learner whose questions and ideas deserve space to grow and take shape.
Through this approach, children engage with real-world challenges that connect to their own experiences and ignite their imaginations. Learning becomes a journey of discovery where knowledge is not simply acquired, but constructed through exploration, collaboration, and creativity.
Guided by Reggio Emilia’s emphasis on the child’s voice, environment, and relationships, and enriched by the depth of Project-Based Learning, our students develop initiative, responsibility, problem-solving, and clear communication. Each project nurtures both intellect and character, shaping thoughtful, compassionate global citizens ready to bring meaningful change to the world around them.
