Alcanza el Valor de tu Reflejo

The education of Values begins in the families of our students. The family is the foundation of the educational process in which early social experiences are offered to children and through which we learn about the world around us (Hepworth Berger, 2008). For this reason, it is important to include families in the process to promote the values. We must foster a good relationship with families, supporting them in their needs with the aim that the student be benefited.
