Methodology
A different educational model
At The Creating Center, we embrace a dynamic and student-centered educational approach that nurtures individuality, fosters creativity, and cultivates a lifelong love of learning.
Our methodology is built upon five core pillars—Individuality, Community, Love of Nature, Wholesomeness, and Independence—ensuring that each child receives a personalized, engaging, and meaningful education.
Through an internationally recognized curriculum supported by top of the art curriculum, we integrate innovative learning strategies, technology, and hands-on experiences to empower students with critical thinking, adaptability, and problem-solving skills.
We emphasize social responsibility, environmental awareness, emotional intelligence, and academic excellence, preparing students to become confident, independent learners and compassionate global citizens.
Our creative learning model is built on five pillars
Individuality
Community
Love of nature
Wholesomeness
Independence
Community
Bringing humans together and forming real human bonds will be key in the formations of all kids at The Creating Center. A strong sense of community opens a child eye to the realities of the world and the need for well-informed individuals who are aware that not everyone enjoys the same freedoms and possibilities. Teaching them about civic duty will build in them a strong empathic backbone and moral compass that will guide them throughout their lives.
Love of Nature
Children need to understand from a very early age the importance of being respectful and doing their part in the protection of their planet. As soon as they start in The Center they will be guided through ecology and a love for our planet. Environmental sciences and how they impact the economy, transportation and every single aspect of their lives will be engrained in their entire education, forming nature loving young individuals.
Wholesomeness
The Future where our children live and work will be one filled with existential challenges so it is more important than ever before to teach them to understand their emotions and to manage them appropriately. Therefore, teaching resiliency, grit and health habits is key to development of their emotional intelligence. We teach empathy, respect for different cultures coupled with honesty, hard work and traditional values all in a very healthy, conversation driven, safe environment.
Independence
Students at The Center will be taught to become independent learners and thinkers. One of the most important skills for the 21st century is learning agility. This refers to the ability and willingness a child should develop for learning effectively, and to thrive in unfamiliar situations. Lifelong learning only happens when there is curiosity. We foster this innate ability that will drive children to explore, discover, invent and re-invent.
Individuality
Every child is unique and learns in a different way. Some kids discover an inclination to arts, music, math or sports at an early age. They need a flexible system that can take in consideration practice time for specific talents. Others need more time or attention to develop certain vital life skills, so the focus of this pillar of our learning system is to identify as early as possible those individual needs and make sure, that a specific learning path is designed around them.

Quality Education that enhances your child's skills
Our online curriculum is internationally recognized and has over 30 years of experience. Students who graduate with this diploma continue their education in Universities worldwide. In addition, within the program, we offer AP courses, which are Advanced Placement courses where students receive university credits.
Some characteristics of our pedagogy are:
Personalization
Each student will have an individual learning path according to their abilities and interests but will join others for projects in multi-level and multi-age groups.
Discipline
We believe children can learn to self-regulate emotions. We teach resilience and determination, guiding them through self-discovery. Knowing and understanding yourself helps you better face future challenges.
Live through learning
The program includes projects where they have to put into practice what they are learning. This takes the knowledge to real-life and takes advantage of everything that Buenaventura offers.
Educational Tools
Our students use Microsoft 365 Education to collaborate, create, and access their work securely from any device. Tools like Teams and OneDrive support flexible learning and help develop key digital skills.
Environment
Our campuses are among the country’s top educational facilities, offering a high-quality, purposefully designed environment that replaces traditional classrooms with flexible, engaging spaces. Each area supports diverse learning styles and inspires students to reach their full potential, all within a secure and peaceful setting like Campus Playa Venao.
Schedule
The school schedule, from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, supports a dynamic and effective learning environment. These hours foster meaningful teacher-student interaction, encouraging engagement and academic growth. Full attendance is essential to benefit from in-person instruction and fully participate in the experience.
Technology
Technology is a powerful learning tool but must be used responsibly. This policy covers all forms of technology, including computers, phones, social media, email, and platforms like Google and Edmentum. It applies inside and outside TCC to prevent disruptions or violations of others' rights. While it offers guidelines, it doesn't address every situation.
