EDUCATIONAL PROJECT AND IDENTITY

At Xaloc we understand comprehensive education as the complete development of each student: not only academically, but also personally, socially, physically and spiritually. We seek to form balanced people, with their own criteria, solid values ​​and the ability to contribute to society.

The personal tutor accompanies each student individually, helping them in their academic and personal development. Through a close follow-up, it guides him in his studies, in the formation of habits and in decision-making, while also maintaining constant communication with the family, in the framework of our educational project.

At Xaloc, each student receives individualized attention from their teachers within an educational model that promotes their holistic development.

Our differentiated education model allows us to better adapt to each student's stage of development, interests, and way of learning, fostering more personalized support and more effective overall development.

In addition, from the moment they join the school, every student is assigned a personal tutor who accompanies and guides them throughout their entire educational journey, working closely with their family.

Xaloc is an educational initiative promoted by families committed to their children's education. The Christian formation offered at the school is entrusted to Opus Dei, which is responsible for providing spiritual and doctrinal guidance, always respecting the personal freedom of each student and family.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) brings to our school’s educational project (Primary, Secondary and Baccalaureate) a demanding, high-level academic education focused on critical thinking, an international mindset, and student autonomy. It also promotes the development of skills such as research, communication, and the ability to successfully face university and professional challenges.

RELATIONSHIP WITH FAMILIES

The main channels of communication with families are the Clickedu platform, through which academic follow-up and daily communication are carried out, as well as in-person meetings with the personal tutor and the guidance team, which take place each term or whenever families or teachers consider them necessary.

In addition, we maintain direct and close communication through information meetings, circulars and other regular school communication channels, with the aim of ensuring continuous and coordinated support for families.

These include talks and training sessions led by education professionals and experts in different areas of interest for families, as well as meetings on current educational topics.
