A: Yes, Steps in Life offers part-time enrollment options specifically designed for families who wish to supplement homeschooling or enhance their child’s skills in core subjects such as reading, math, or any other academic area. In addition to part-time attendance, we provide personalized tutoring services tailored to meet the unique needs of each student. These flexible programs are intended to support your child's individual learning journey, ensuring they receive targeted instruction that ignites their imagination and translates into meaningful achievements. Please contact us directly to discuss your specific requirements and explore how we can best support your family’s educational goals.

Our classroom will include students of mixed ages, abilities, nationalities, and prior educational experience. Children will receive guidance based on their individual academic evaluations in each subject area. Student performance will be stretched or strengthened to make sure each student receives what they need to continue growing. Please see our Blog for a more in-depth explanation of the power of mixed-aged classrooms.

At Steps in Life, lunch and snacks are not included by default, but can be conveniently provided for an additional fee through our partnership with Pan Y Amor, a well-regarded bakery located nearby. Parents have the flexibility to order snacks and lunches either for individual days or for the entire week. Notably, when you purchase meals for four days, the fifth day is provided free of charge. This arrangement allows families to ensure their children enjoy delicious, fresh food that complements our nurturing educational environment focused on discovery and real-world learning. Please note- all proceeds from meal orders go entirely to Pan Y Amor and can be paid via SINPE directly of cash to the school.

We believe there is an important balance in guiding and autonomy which includes supervising

By following a combination of more modern practices surrounding the school day, including schedules for class times, breaks and supervision by an adult, we strive to implement a structure that will feel more familiar to the standard you’re likely familiar with while also putting in place an opportunity for your children to express themselves openly, interact with one another in a healthy and productive manner and succeed overall.

Our goal is to keep class sizes small enough to continue the individualized instruction. Parents can expect 14-20 students per class. Classes of 12+ students will be supported by a teaching assistant.

Parents will receive regular communication and updates from teachers that share progress and setbacks along with action plans in-school and recommendations for support at home if needed. Steps in Life views the parent – teacher relationship as a TEAM to make sure your child has everything they need to succeed, and we’re committed to an open two-way dialogue that facilitates constant growth.

Students will be issued an email account that they will be asked to create and monitor on a regular basis to support project work, time management, and organizational skills.

We love our parents taking an interest in their child’s journey and welcome your participation. This can look many ways: setting up for special events, sharing one of your skills, assisting in the classroom, organizing an event. Send us a communication for what you have in mind as we love volunteers 🙂
