Open Day: Participating in an Open Day is the perfect opportunity to get to know the school up close. Through multimedia presentations, the Principal and teachers explain the teaching method, the programs, and the IESS experience to families. Students take part in interactive workshops, where they experiment with the IESS method with the help of our current students. Open Days take place in person. Reservations are required.

Stage: Spending a morning at school is an exciting way to experience a typical day at IESS firsthand, alongside older students. Open lessons, workshops, group projects, and discussions with teachers allow students to get to know the Active Learning method and understand what it means to learn actively! Stages are always open.

Visits: A meeting with the Principal can be a great opportunity to gather further information, clarify doubts, and discuss personal situations in depth. It can also be the chance to visit the school, gain deeper insights into the IESS method, or explore the teaching approach of specific subjects.
