School Philosophy & Day in the Life
School Philosophy and Mission
"Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner has spent many years analyzing the human brain function and its impact on education, including language learning. He says that there are several types of intelligence and these "Multiple Intelligences" can be linked to teaching a second language. Based on Gardner's principles, Amiguitos! believes that
Children learn by doing
Language sounds should be reinforced with pictures and real objects
Learning should be fun
Learning is best when a child is relaxed and comfortable
Dancing and moving to rhythm when learning a second language is important
Children learn by touching, tasting and smelling
Some children learn by reflecting "
