Caring for the Mind from an Early Age: The Key to Thriving Learning!

At Colegio Internacional Aravaca, we believe education goes beyond textbooks. That’s why we are integrating essential tools into our classrooms to help students understand how their brains work and how they can care for them from an early age.

Did you know that teaching children to take small pauses throughout the day can make a huge difference in their well-being and ability to focus? Through simple and engaging activities, such as relaxation videos, brain “reset” techniques, and mindfulness exercises that engage the senses, we show them that they have control over their minds and emotions.

By learning how to manage their attention and recognize their body’s signals, our students develop critical skills to handle stress, enhance creativity, and strengthen empathy. This practical approach prepares them not only for academic challenges but also for life.
