The children's academic journey continues and develops throughout the elementary school years, where education becomes progressively more formal. However, this does not mean abandoning the educational foundations of EducatioNest: experiential and hands-on learning , a focus on creativity and the 100 languages, and a focus on small-group activities in addition to classroom instruction.

The premise is always that of a competent child and young person, with a mind into which knowledge does not need to be poured, but rather a mind that, with the right guidance and the right tools, can deeply build its own skills. A school without desks , but with team work areas and a multiplication of tools and materials . Not one book, but many different and varied books where the children's critical and analytical skills can collide and build. Electron microscopes, digital tools, graphics tablets, computers, webcams, oil paints, wax, clay, light tables, light shows, tools for exploration and research with no limits. Independence of action and thought remains important , with an educational approach that emphasizes the development of critical and divergent thinking and an approach to languages, which are the languages ​​of learning and communication that accompany diverse discoveries. Centrality will be given to literacy in both Italian and English, in the belief that only a good command of both languages ​​can create a well-rounded person. These languages ​​are joined by a third language, Chinese .
