Secundaria 1º-4º ESO
(12-15 años)
Bienvenidos al primer programa de Secundaria Montessori Internacional en Aragón
El único programa Montessori para adolescentes 1º-4º ESO en Aragón.
Curso 2025/26 Sólo se admiten matrículas para 1º y 2º ESO.
El programa de Secundaria de Zaragoza SchoolHouse para jóvenes de 12 a 15 años está basado en el reconocimiento de las especiales características de la adolescencia. Adolescence is an age of great social development, an age of critical thinking and re-evaluation, and a period of self-concern and self-assessment. It is a transition from childhood to adulthood with the corresponding physical and mental maturation. Zaragoza SchoolHouse students will work on understanding the world through a problem-solving lens while exploring the big ideas that have united humans across time: truth, beauty, freedom, justice.


Notre programme secondaire permet aux élèves d'intégrer de nouvelles connaissances de manière approfondie et séquentielle, tout en renforçant leur expérience en tant qu'individus et citoyens vivant en communauté.
L'apprentissage académique avec la méthode Montessori se déroule en parallèle dans trois domaines :
- Manipulation directe et intuitive
- Pratique régulière et étude individuelle
- Les présentations collectives de sujets par l'enseignant comme des événements sociaux académiques qui conduisent à un apprentissage actif et intéressé.

Syllabus and Methods
El programa de Zaragoza SchoolHouse incorpora de forma oficial los contenidos propios de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria de 1º a 4º curso de ESO, al tiempo que expande los recursos docentes para asegurar la apropiación del contenido por parte del alumnado. Contamos con una ratio reducida, mayor grado de cualificación del profesorado y mayor número de horas semanales de trabajo destinadas a las materias fundamentales: matemáticas, ciencias y lengua.
The goal is for young adults to experience a life that is lived rather than taught, to foster a sense of stewardship of their environment, ownership of their learning, and eventually, economic independence as they prepare for adult life. We balance study and work aiming for optimal development of young adults.
Además, desde Zaragoza SchoolHouse proporcionamos a nuestros alumnos una experiencia real de ciudadanía. Trabajamos en profundidad la construcción de la dignidad personal y de los demás, así como el desarrollo de sus habilidades sociales a través de la co-responsabilidad y la participación en micro-emprendimientos escolares.

The goal is for young adults to experience a life that is lived rather than taught, to foster a sense of stewardship of their environment, ownership of their learning, and eventually, economic independence as they prepare for adult life. We balance study and work aiming for optimal development of young adults.

Mathematics
At the core of the mathematics programme is a deep dive into arithmetic, geometry and algebra.
Maths is introduced through regular lessons and supported through a weekly Socratic-style seminar. The Maths seminar builds knowledge in a democratic way through each student´s articulation and understanding of the variety of ways word problems can be approached and solved.

English Language and Literature
The goal of the English Language Programme is to support the students in developing confidence and a sense of independence in their ability to communicate in a foreign languge. The programme aims to provide ample opportunities for the adolescents to practice their conversational skills and engage in meaningul interactions in English, which is further supported by an annual exchange.
Alongside these experiences, the students work on expanding their grammar and vocabulary, thereby building their knowledge of the language, and participate in a variety of activities that enhance their understanding of the English culture.

Sciences Occupations
We approach science in a practical way. As a response to the needs of the community and the environment, the students delve into both the study of Earth and Living Things and Human Progress and Civilization. Touching on Earth Science (Geology, Physical Geography), Physical Science (Chemistry and Physics), Life Science and Contemporary Science (Mechanics and Engineering, Genetics, Science and Technology), their scientific studies directly connect the students to their community through production and exchange, their work in the garden, and the culinary programme.

Humanities
The work and studies of the adolescents gives them an opportunity to explore and understand how society has evolved over time and why we are where we are now. Through research, debate, and creative work the students investigate people and their lives throughout history as they engage in deep discussions that honour the human story.

Creative Expression
Visual Arts, Performance Arts, and Physical Expression support the adolescent´s need for creative work and self-expression. Across the curriculum, students are introduced to a variety of different media that allow the student to explore who they are – their talents, their interests, their emotions – ant to connect with others through their explorations and work. Supported by a variety of experts in their field, the Adolescent students are invited to explore interests such as painting, printing, sculpture, dance, photography, music, sport, and drama.

French
The goal of the French Language Programme is to support the students in developing confidence and a sense of independence in their ability to communicate in a foreign languge. The programme aims to provide ample opportunities for the adolescents to practice their conversational skills and engage in meaningul interactions in French, which is further supported by an annual exchange to France.
Alongside these experiences, the students work on expanding their grammar and vocabulary, thereby building their knowledge of the language, and participate in a variety of activities that enhance their understanding of the French culture.

Enrichment Activities
Throughout the day, students engage in cultural, entrepreneurship and microeconomics activities that enrich their social, academic, and emotional experience.
Dans notre environnement Montessori, les adolescents établissent leurs connaissances, acquièrent les compétences académiques nécessaires à leur développement, découvrent de nouveaux intérêts et testent leurs propres motivations.
En outre, ils ont accès à une véritable expérience citoyenne qui leur permet d'entraîner leurs compétences sociales dans un contexte à la fois local et international.

Adolescents Trips
A key part of development at this stage is for Adolescents to learn what it takes to reside in a social group and serve their community. To support these developing needs, the Adolescent Community participates in three overnight trips throughtout the course of the year, each with its own objectives.

The Odyssey Trip
The Odyssey Trip embraces the idea of a journey of social-emotional growth. The adolescents dive deeply into community life through a trip, taking on all aspects of their daily life, from planning to preparing to cooking to caring for each other. They bond through their collaborative work and their desire to thrive as a member of a unit.

The Farm Trip
The Farm Trip evolves into an enriching week of immersion in nature, where adolescents not only engage with the hands-on responsibilities of caring for animals and plants, but also develop a deeper understanding of the natural world. Throughout the week, they build stronger connections with their peers, expand their sense of community, and gain insights into alternative ways of interacting with both nature and each other. This experience encourages personal growth and fosters teamwork. It’s a unique opportunity for self-discovery, learning, and forming lasting bonds.

The Cultural Trip
The last two weeks of the academic year are reserved for the X-term. Unlike any of the other cycles of study, the topic of this term is chosen by the Adolescents themselves. Beginning mid-January, they have the assignment of plannig a two-week unit of study that inmerses the community in a specific topic. As part of its design, the adolescents are encouraged to plan a two-to-three-day trip for the end of the term. It is up to the students to choose teh destination of the trip, to plan the activities and to work and engage to earn the requried funding for the trip.
Opportunités d'échanges d'étudiants Montessori
À Zaragoza SchoolHouse, notre objectif est de préparer les élèves à des échanges internationaux avec d'autres écoles Montessori. Notre programme est international et trilingue (anglais, espagnol et français), où au moins 50% du contenu est enseigné en anglais. L'environnement multilingue leur permet de poursuivre leur développement académique dans des programmes de baccalauréat international, facilitant ainsi l'accès aux universités de différents pays.
