Bosqueko Forest School

Bosqueko Forest School emphasizes active, meaningful, and functional learning based on evidence and neuroscience. The methodology integrates nature-based education, the "pedagogy of listening," and the "pedagogy of risk," which encourages autonomy and critical decision-making in safe, challenging environments. The school values the "culture of childhood," viewing children as competent, curious individuals capable of co-constructing their own knowledge through interaction with their environment and peers.

The school offers bilingual education (at least 50% English immersion) for early childhood and primary students (ages 6–12). The curriculum is structured around "phenological didactic programming," where learning situations follow the seasons and natural cycles of the environment. Additionally, the school provides an Advanced Course on Nature Education and seasonal activities, such as summer camps focused on cinema and nature for children aged 10 to 13.

The school provides personalized and inclusive support through reduced student-teacher ratios and the integration of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. The staff includes a psychopedagogue and a child and adolescent psychologist to address individual needs and ensure equality of opportunity. Socio-affective development is prioritized, with a focus on creating a secure, respectful, and supportive environment for all students.

The admissions process begins with an online form submission, followed by a virtual interview to discuss expectations. Families are then invited to visit the campus to experience the learning environment and values firsthand. Final admission is subject to an evaluation by the pedagogical team and current space availability, with a waiting list option available for full cohorts.

The school operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 14:30. Additional care options include early drop-off from 7:30 to 8:30 and late pick-up from 14:30 to 15:30. Administrative office hours are Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 13:30 and 16:00 to 17:00.

Located in Monte Lentiscal, Santa Brígida, the campus is designed as a "permeable school" where indoor and outdoor spaces are fluidly integrated to support learning and well-being. The grounds serve as a primary "territory of learning," facilitating direct, regular, and meaningful contact with nature. The environment is specifically structured to support outdoor education and active exploration.
