At Superfriends, we are aware of the importance an early education can have on the integral development of the individual. That is why, from the First Cycle of Early Childhood Education, educational actions must involve all the evolutionary aspects of the students, in a global way. Thus we have developed our very own integrated Holistic approach to learning.
From 4 months old, we offer children daily a new adventure in which they can explore and learn about the surrounding world and about themselves. The programs of Encyclopedic Knowledge & Physical Excellence first developed by Glenn Doman serve as the pillars upon which we have settled our exclusive constructivist curriculum. Thanks to our popular musical & gestural English language teaching method, TET, each pupil has daily opportunities to actively develop not only the immersed English language of our center, but also the foreign language of German, as our German Language Specialist implements methods that mimic our original TET style.
Our observational methods begin with an atmosphere of acceptance backed by practitioners who aim at developing positive relationships while creating enabling environments rich in opportunities for each unique child. Our team of practitioners have embraced emotional intelligence techniques & adapt their methods keeping the multiple intelligences of individuals and the group in mind. We look for and promote any “Super Powers” while making known “Super Challenges” to overcome. Engaged, well-rounded alumni are what we strive for.
First cycle
The first years of their lives are the right time to strengthen their global development. Their language development, their knowledge and the conciousness of their own body and movement, social harmony, discovering the world around, developing their sensorial capabilities, balance and affection.
We follow the “Consellería de Educación” objectives, but actually our aim is to offer a lot more. The brain´s biggest capability of learning is in the early childhood, then it decreases with the years, this is the main reason why we try to take advantage of every moment to stimulate and teach through music, fun and happiness, which is the kid’s world.
The objectives and guidelines of Superfriends International School are focused on making the kids learn in a happy way envioronmet: Early stimulation though games. and develop their capabilities and values.

Doman Method
The Doman Method is well known in Spain for the Early Stimulation. Glenn Doman is the founder of “The Institutes for the Achievement of human potential” in 1955 where he archieved his fame and philosophy. What they discovered is that kids love the process of learning, and that they are capable of learning absolutely anything if it is presented in a honest, concise and funny way.
The aim of the Institutes is to improve their intelectual, physical and social capabilities. The institute keeps teaching the parents and educators how to entiance their babies intelligence:
- Reading
- Encyclopedic knowledge
- Maths
- How to be physically superb
- Foreign languages
… and much more, all with success.
Our program me is based on:
All the activities are in English and the same curriculum is followed in German.
- Development of habits and concepts/li>

Educating in with values
We give great importance to educate within values that need to be taught in the first years of their lives so the can internalize them.
In our school we instil responsability, generosity, comprehension, tolerance, friendship, honesty, creativity and the development of their autonomy.
Second cycle
An integrated plurilingual, pluricultural approach is what children of the second cycle at Superfriends experience.
What does that mean? It means that daily learning takes place in three languages, mediated by a language expert in each discipline. English is the primary language of our center, while German is our daily foreign language. As we are located in Valencia, Spain, Spanish educational system objectives and linguistic requirements are met, as well as specifications of the Valencian community and it’s language. Each language practitioner has different linguistic objectives, as well as, an obligation to apply our global curricular content. The team of teachers work together to implement the curriculum, providing, at the same time, relevant cultural perspectives in their area of expertise.
Settling the strong foundations of first cycle, we gradually plunge deeper into investigations & explorations, requiring a wider breadth of relatable areas of knowledge to develop, as well as, a greater reliance on autonomy, communication, teamwork and project oriented endeavours.
Classic tried and true early literacy acquisition programs, such as Jolly Phonics and Letrilandia are balanced with innovative learning approaches such as CLIL (aiding in intercultural understanding, social and thinking skills) and STEAM type projects (promoting expressive arts and critical thinking).
