If someone asked you what a school is, what would you say?
Most people would say: “A school is a place where you go to LEARN.” So far so good. But what do you actually remember from what you LEARNED in school?
Think about it. This is a serious question.
The same thing happened to us. We realized we remember little or nothing beyond the experiences we had with classmates. The method didn’t work for us. That’s where the idea came from: What if we created a school where students REALLY learn?
This is our challenge, our commitment, and our responsibility as educators: a school where learning is REAL and FOR LIFE.
We don’t know what schools of the future will be like, or how the children of that time will be. And most likely, we won’t be there to see it. That’s why we prefer to talk about the school of the present—a school that analyzes today’s needs to build tomorrow. At Arimunani, we believe education must be innovate, breaking away from outdated memorization-based systems and embracing meaningful and experiential learning.
The highest expression of love is care. Our work can only be understood from that foundation. We don’t just look at a child—we see them. The bond and trust that come from this respectful gaze make possible the self-esteem and healthy, holistic development we seek at Arimunani—development that includes academic as well as life skills.
Each day, we dedicate ourselves to nurturing empathetic human beings with strong values, critical thinking, and the ability to love and know themselves and others. Their lives and decisions will be grounded on these foundations, alongside their lived experiences and family ties—a future we envision as fulfilling and happy.
Looking is not the same as seeing. At Arimunani, we see you. And we want to guide your holistic development by letting you be yourself. We do this through innovative educational methodologies based on active learning, not on memorizing concepts. Our greatest ally is curiosity, a key tool to connect with a child’s brain.
What happens when you spark a child’s curiosity? They listen. And they learn.
We support children’s development with a holistic approach based on creativity, self-awareness, lived experience, and environmental consciousness. We foster their overall development by seeing them as a whole: body, mind, and soul. We create a safe, caring space for each child’s emotional development, honoring their uniqueness, respecting their pace, and adapting to their needs and motivations at every stage.
