Its cultural model focuses on education of the heart, the development of the potential of the mind through didactic paths of excellence, openness to positive and creative relationships, animated by a solid ethical and social sense. It is a welcoming school, which trains students and accompanies them with “sweetness and firmness "from childhood to adolescence, so that they become free individuals, with critical and research skills with a profound sense of their own existence, which leads them to the development of their individual talents.

Cultural attention is paid to the most modern methodological techniques considered pedagogically effective and positive, with particular focus on approaches that in the whole curriculum promote the development of languages, digital education and a specialist learning skills.
