- Formation of a critical and dialectical intelligence capable of orienting the individual through autonomous and responsible choices, overcoming negative stagnant thoughts of conformity, procrastinating, individualism, amongst others.
- Teaching of positive ideas regarding cultural diversity, gender identity and economic disparities.
- Integration as a process and project of mutual adaptation that starts from the recognition of different needs and provision of adequate responses from part of the school and staff to the needs of each child.
- A positive self image building based on a balanced relational and affective rapport.
