What is The Workshop?

A socioconstructivist and progressive school for children and young people from Kindergarten 3 to 12th grade, The Workshop completely transforms traditional education and breaks away from the outdated belief in rote memorization.
Founded in 1989 by Caty Franco in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, the school is based on the conviction that progressive and constructive education empowers students to achieve their goals both inside and outside the classroom in a globalized world.

Because it is a school for new generations and for parents who are truly invested in their children's development.
To strengthen human values in the development process of children and young people.
To belong to a study group that I identify with: respectful, ethical, creative, dynamic, critical, and capable.
To be listened to with attention, without judgment, with constructive suggestions, respect, integrity, and care. To have my ideas guided toward learning and project creation.
To achieve genuine learning: learning how to learn.
To WORK COLLABORATIVELY, organize, structure, create, and build through sensitivity, tolerance, and conflict resolution.
To recognize that each individual learns differently, according to their personal and cultural characteristics.
To acquire skills that enable me to achieve my goals.
To understand that each ability is nurtured by skills that must be developed, practiced, and internalized for as long as necessary without feeling boredom.
To foster reading comprehension skills and, as a result, become a person eager to learn more.
To become a better individual, student, and citizen.
