Accompaniment is the “soul” of our educational model. Just you, but not you alone.
In the process of forming and developing to the human stature to which we are called, no one can be substituted, but we all need to be accompanied.
The milestones of this path of personal growth are synthesised in a motto:
Know yourself, Accept yourself and Overcome yourself
Accompaniment…
- It is a path of encounters towards the fullness of the person, in which trainer and student mutually enrich each other.
- It is to be committed to the student becoming to an excellent degree what he/she is called to be.
- It is to establish a deep relationship of support, dialogue and communication.
Accompanying means accompanying students on their journey of growth, welcoming them with their talents and their difficulties, with absolute respect for their freedom and their rhythms, so that they can respond to the questions and challenges they encounter, discovering their own vocation and shaping their life project.
Our model of accompaniment is based on a holistic view of the student, discovering all his dimensions: ethical, spiritual, intellectual, affective, communicative, aesthetic, physical and social.
In order to help them grow in a complete, harmonious and fulfilling way, we offer them a wide range of activities and programmes that revolve around accompaniment.
We train in:
- Self-knowledge and encounter with oneself
- Harmony of character and integration of emotions
- Conviction, autonomy and critical spirit
- Relationship and encounter with others
- The discovery of one’s own vocation
- The configuration of a life project
The training itinerary followed by the students, accompanied by their trainers, is made up of different activities and programmes that aim to have a real impact on their lives:
- Affective-sexual training – Let’s Learn to Love programme
- Etiquette and good manners
- Virtues programme: Joy, respect, obedience, forgiveness, order, responsibility, kindness, generosity, friendship, strength, humility, sincerity, gratitude and effort.
Individual growth process: Know Yourself, Accept Yourself and Surpass Yourself - Mentoring programme
- Entrepreneurship subjects and programmes
- Individual and group tutorials and workshops with students, character development, emotional education, specific methodologies, assessment for learning, etc.
Reinforcement and extension groups for students who need it. When we detect that a pupil has difficulties or high abilities, the Guidance Department together with the teacher study the teaching processes that may be most beneficial, either through the transformation of the teacher’s material (Internal Curricular Adaptation) or through complementary material; always with the aim of each pupil achieving the best version of him/herself. - Vocational Guidance Programme: This programme seeks to help the pupil to become aware of his or her own gifts together with the opportunities and needs of the environment and to give him or her the tools to be able to plan his or her future. It is a process that extends throughout their school life, but which takes on greater importance from 3rdESO to 2nd Bachillerato, with the accompaniment of their trainers being the key factor.
- Tutorials with families, psycho-pedagogical counselling and the human formation team.
- Accompanying families: We accompany each family in the integral formation of each of their children and for this reason, we go beyond the usual contact between families and the centre’s professionals to offer a Programme of Accompaniment for Parents from which we offer workshops: parents’ schools, workshops for married couples, etc.
Formation of will and emotions
We educate the heart, we educate to love
Formative discipline
We are reason and heart, and this is formed with attitudes and habits that help us to live as whole people and to live together with others. Our educators work so that children and adolescents discover the values that give rise to the rules on a day-to-day basis, so that they act out of self-conviction and not by the mere imposition of a regulation. We believe in an education that respects the individual because it addresses the reason and will of the pupil.
To achieve this, more than one hundred members of our team have been trained in this field, thus achieving the seal of quality that recognises Highlands School Sevilla as the first school in Europe with Positive Displine Lab School in Infant, Primary, Secondary and Baccalaureate.
Virtues Programme and Education for Love Programme (“Let’s Learn to Love”)
By forming the will, affectivity and emotions of our students through these programmes, our goal is for them to grow in maturity in accordance with their age. A maturity that is manifested in abilities such as being faithful to the responsibilities assumed, knowing how to read their own feelings and integrate them with the other dimensions of their lives, making prudent decisions, opening up to others and giving themselves to them, that is, in short, loving.
Sports training
Physical activity and sporting competitions are a laboratory for practising and consolidating habits and virtues that are fundamental for life: teamwork, healthy competition, diligence, willpower, perseverance, courage, friendship, companionship, respect, self-improvement, happiness, etc.
In addition, we have optional extracurricular activities within the school timetable. All of them are aimed at providing the pupils with a comprehensive education, promoting the development of all their skills and reinforcing the concept of good use and enjoyment of free time.
Support for students who belong to High Performance, adapting their classes and timetables to facilitate their training.

Guidance Department
La misión del Departamento de Orientación Psicopedagógica es contribuir a hacer realidad el acompañamiento personal de cada alumno. Con este fin, los psicólogos y psicopedagogos que lo integran asesoran a los alumnos, al resto de formadores y a las familias para que, atendiendo a sus necesidades individuales, les ayuden a alcanzar la mejor versión de sí mismos. (Doc. Misión de los Colegios RC España, art. 124)
Our psycho-pedagogical guidance department is made up of six professionals: two graduates in psychology, two others in pedagogy and speech therapy and two teachers dedicated exclusively to accompanying pupils who require support and reinforcement in their daily needs in order to keep up with the pace of the classes.

- Development of individual educational support plans for pupils with or without Specific Educational Support Needs (SEN) but who need special support in their learning.
