Student Monitoring
The school, through the choice among other academic programs, aims to be demanding regarding objectives and results, while adapting them to each individual’s pace and situation
Academic programs are essential tools in this process, but it is incumbent upon teachers and the institution to transcend them as much as possible from an early age, in order to offer students the maximum opportunities and chances for success and to give them a sense of learning.
Our mission is to promote the comprehensive development of our students. In this regard, it is also the school’s duty to offer a comprehensive and holistic approach, incorporating both complementary activities into the academic program and extracurricular activities in line with the desired skills, in order to fully fulfill the educational mission of the institution:
- Active methodologies: collaborative learning, based on reflection, construction…

ECOLOGY AT EEBA
In our school, ecology is much more than just an idea; it’s a true mission. We are proud to announce that our school has been awarded the prestigious Eco-School label, a recognition of our commitment to the environment and sustainability. We strive to raise awareness among our students about environmental issues and encourage them to become agents of ecological change.
Every day, we integrate environmentally friendly practices into our school life, whether through recycling initiatives, reducing our carbon footprint, or adopting sustainable lifestyles.
Our students are at the heart of this approach. They are encouraged to take initiatives, propose innovative ideas, and take concrete actions to protect our planet. Whether through gardening projects, awareness campaigns, or clean-up actions, our children are fully involved in building a greener and more sustainable future.
We are firmly committed to this path and will continue to work towards a more ecological, healthier, and sustainable future.
