Description
Since 2017, our school has been carrying out continuous training activities for girls and boys aged 6-11 years as parental democratic education (and for 3-6 in the woods).
There are currently 40 children in the older age group.
We are located on Garda Lake, immersed in the greenery of the Trentino mountains.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In exchange, we offer you the opportunity to experience the construction and experimentation of an idea of a new school, welcoming the needs and requirements of boys and girls born in the new millennium.
You will interact with the team and the students during the mornings in the way we together deem it appropriate to accompany them in learning the language, also according to your aptitudes.
We hope that from hosting visitors the children will learn the language more and we can give the live experience of a semi-structured parental democratic school.
