Philosophy of Dalton

Dalton education is not a blueprint, but an influence. It is a vision on people, an attitude from which teachers treat pupils, listen to them, challenge them to learning and enter into agreements with them. Any school makes the translation into its own culture, habits and needs for education.

The basis is made by three pillars, which are at the same time democratic values:

Freedom in restraint
Independence
Cooperation
