The Rhythmic Wave of Cultura New
At The New School, we immerse ourselves in the vibrant universe of the Cultura New. Every interaction, every word, every gesture, every look, every habit, is impregnated with a harmonious, meaningful environment, typical of the UBUNTU philosophy, which invites us to relate to each other and our environment under the slogan: “Look, evaluate and reflect, principles to act”, which is also a vital fragment of our institutional anthem.
At the heart of our culture lies the harmonious synthesis between deep-rooted values, dynamic competencies, habits that promote consciousness, and assertive language, among others, all of them woven into a network of relationships and transformative experiences of BEING.
Our Cultura New, in addition to a way of life, is a living expression of our collective identity, it is a journey of discovery and self-growth, which propels us towards a future full of infinite possibilities.
We have enriched the compass of our boat with the image of an institutional mascot: a bird that evokes freedom, and color, inspires, evaluates, and reflects. Motus is the name with which we identify it, it is the representation of a Barranquero which is that beautiful bird that inhabits our forests. We adopt its presence and company as a symbol of the philosophical essence of the Cultura New program.
Institutional values touch every detail of our educational proposal. They all converge in LOVE. We give special attention to six of them:
Respect
It is the exercise of freedom allowing others to also exercise theirs. Other values such as tolerance and trust are associated with it.
Commitment
It is giving without conditions. Responsibility is associated with it.
Solidarity
It is the ability to put yourself in the situation of another, to be kind, helpful, and collaborative; It is learning to share what I have and not what I have left.
Autonomy
It is the ability to decide by one's criteria. It implies freedom, reflection, and criticality.
Equity
It is the particular treatment corresponding to the conditions of each being, the propensity to be guided by the feeling of duty or conscience. Justice is associated with this value.
Creativity
It is being recursive, ingenious, original, and innovative; It is having the ability to generate new ideas.
The propelling wave of multilingualism
In the vast ocean of knowledge, English stands as the indispensable propeller to explore new horizons and foster the competitiveness of our crew members and sailors. In an era where borders are blurring and international connections are multiplying, mastering English has become more than an advantage, an imperative necessity in an increasingly interconnected world. From the bustling streets of foreign cities to the intricate networks of digital information, English is the key that unlocks the doors of understanding and opportunity
In our commitment to the comprehensive growth of our students, we not only offer them the opportunity to learn English, we also open the doors to two additional languages such as French and Italian, creating a multilingual alternative for high school students.
We believe in the richness of linguistic diversity and in the transformative power of global communication, which is why we continually design pedagogical strategies such as the alliance with Richmond and Cambridge Assessment to offer excellent educational quality in the teaching of English and allow our graduates to be capable of skillfully navigating the universal currents of communication without limit.
Methodology and didactics for sailors
Our curricular approach focused on BEING, DOING, and KNOWING, facilitates the development of generic, specific intercultural and bilingual competencies, which surely enrich holistic education, where subjects are intertwined with thematic lines of different visions, facilitating transversality and enriching the students' training process based on practice.
