Pedagogical model
Colegio Sister Johanna is based on a constructivist model which seeks that students are responsible for their own learning and our teachers are the guide. Parents accompany and supervise the learning process. It is a project and problem based learning (PBLP), promotes understanding (APC) and contextualization of what has been learned. It is based on formative evaluations.
