CEIP FERNANDO III EL SANTO

CEIP Fernando III El Santo is a public school in San Cristóbal de La Laguna that offers Early Childhood Education (second cycle, ages 3 to 6) and Primary Education (ages 6 to 12), with French among its teachings. The school provides a cafeteria service, early reception, and extracurricular activities, with school hours from Monday to Friday in the morning, cafeteria at noon, and activities in the afternoon.

In the pedagogical field, the school develops the OAOA project (Other Algorithms for Arithmetic Operations), an inclusive approach where students work on mathematics in three phases —manipulative, graphic, and symbolic— and create their own calculation method instead of memorizing a single algorithm. It has a film project running since 2014, where students and teachers write, direct, and produce their own short films, with several productions and awards at the Cinedfest festival. It also participates in the Canary Islands Network of Educational Innovation through a PIDAS project that encompasses competency axes and teaching proposals aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, as well as in the School Code 4.0 Program for the development of digital competence as a transversal line. Through the AICLE Program, it teaches Plastic and Visual Education in English in Primary, and with the Sea of Science project, it works on marine research following the scientific method. The school is recognized with Level 2 from UNICEF (2024-2026) as a Reference Center for Children's Rights. Additionally, it is in the process of launching a school radio and a school library.

The school maintains communication with families through its blog, where it publishes news, activities, and documents, and uses tools such as the Families App and Pincel Ekade, in addition to having an AMPA and tutoring.
