We use words that support authentic learning experiences and purpose-inspired learner agency.
Below is a handy guide to the language we use at Learnlife. If you ever hear or see something you don’t understand, just ask.
Learnlife’s Secondary Programs provide learners with a personalized, flexible, and competency-based education. The three programs —Explorers, Creators, and Changemakers—are designed to cultivate autonomy, creativity, and real-world impact, progressing from exploration to creation to impact.
To help your child settle in and make the best possible start, they will take part in two orientation days on Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd September.
During these two days, your child will be welcomed into their learning community and participate in fun, collaborative activities to build connections and form their circle of support.
They will:
get to know other learners and Learning Guides
meet returning learners and ask them about life at Learnlife
learn about our learning approach, community values and other essential information
explore their new learning environment
If you have any questions about the orientation days, please contact community@learnlife.com.
Each day, your child will need to bring:
A laptop and charger. They will need to have their name on their device and equipment.
A water bottle which can be refilled at the Hub.
Pens, pencils and a notebook.
We will let you know in advance if your child requires any other resources or materials during the year.
The schedules for each program are as follows:
Explorers - Monday to Thursday, 9:00 to 16:00. Friday, 9:00 to 13:00.
Creators and Changemakers - Monday to Thursday, 10:00 to 17:00. Friday, 10:00 to 14:00.
Daily schedules will be finalized by the learning team when they return on 26th August and shared with you.
You will receive an invitation for your child’s learning program group meeting on 10th September, where the team will explain the schedules in detail.
If your child wants to continue learning at the end of the day, they are welcome to stay in the Hub until 17:30.
We expect Explorers to arrive on time and be prepared to start the day at 9:00 and Creators and Changemakers at 10:00.
Tardiness: If your child is running late, please let us know by emailing urbanhub@learnlife.com or calling +34 695 118 539
If your child hasn’t shown up within the first 30 minutes of their scheduled day, and we haven’t heard from you, our Community Host will email you to check in and confirm the reason for the delay.
If your child is repeatedly late, we will arrange a conversation with you and your child to find a solution to help them arrive on time.
Absence, extended absences and leaving early: If your child needs to leave early or will be absent, please let us know by emailing urbanhub@learnlife.com or calling +34 695 118 539.
If your child will be absent for an extended period due to a family circumstance, please email urbanhub@learnlife.com and michel@learnlife.com
Your child can bring their own lunch daily. Alternatively, you can place an order for their lunch through our catering partners. If you would like further details, please email urbanhub@learnlife.com.
Once learners begins the Creators program, they can leave the Hub for lunch and breaks. If your child is in Creators, they can leave the Hub for lunch with your permission.
We recommend that your child also bring healthy snacks with them in case they would like to eat something between Building Blocks (classes).
If your child needs to receive medication, please provide our Community Host with a copy of the prescription and instructions for use.
We cannot give learners medication without a signed note from the family and the doctor, and no learner is allowed to self-medicate.
