Maria Montessori is a doctor of medicine, psychiatrist, anthropologist and philosopher. She developed her pedagogical approach in the early twentieth century and was a forerunner in the observation and understanding of the child. It is perceived as a worthy person and a full individual. It is based on the laws of natural development of the child both physiological and psychic, based on the desire to learn and the conquest of independence.

That’s why our team draws inspiration from it to free students through surfing and the marine environment. The idea is that the child grows up and develops optimally in the environment of sliding sports. But where would adults fit in this context? In a world of big kids …

Our role is to make you evolve in an atmosphere where you feel protected, integrated, loved and needed. We share our knowledge through positive exchanges and encouragement. The child (or adult) has our respect and support when learning. Thus, your listening and your way of approaching the difficulties become essential for the basic orientation of our surf courses.

Our goal is to organize and secure the space while promoting your autonomy and confidence. The person becomes the main actor of his learning through experimentation to enable him to find, with our help, the solution by itself.

Our essential step is to modify the “reward” scheme, in which we, monitors, have evolved so far. The child (or the adult) defines her or his learning speed in a less rigid context without pressure. The delivery of the passport at the end of the week simply serves to show its evolution.

This educational approach combines with the technical approach of the FFS and the Ministry of Youth and Sports we have been trained in and in which we graduated.

We are looking forward to welcome you! The Energy surf school team
