Everything is being done for a co-construction approach to learning

•  The premises can be freely arranged by everyone: no classroom is fixed, all the furniture is mobile;
• The rooms are equipped with several writing surfaces and touch screens to facilitate project-based learning, to exchange data or to send them directly to teachers;
