I had never imagined that I would see my child grow so much in terms of self-confidence and willingness to try new things in just one short year. They have had support and encouragement to dive more deeply into the things they love. I am beyond grateful to the caring Learning Guides that have helped nurture my child with care and love, and for the deep friendships and sense of community they have developed while at Learnlife.

I have 2 kids here. We started in the US public school system and needed a change, and found Learnlife. My kids are thriving. The community is incredible. Best decision we have ever made regarding education for my children. This is the future of education, and I wish all children had the opportunity to learn in this type of environment!

Despite his good results in traditional school, my son felt that he could not satisfy all his curiosity and did not enjoy learning. In short, at Learnlife he found the right environment to transform his ideas into concrete projects and enjoy learning. Here, you are learning to learn and trust yourself.

Sunday nights used to be a terrible time for the family because the kids dreaded starting another week of school the next day. Now they're actually excited to get back to it. Just after the first week or two we noticed a big difference in both kids, which I would describe as self-confidence that comes from being treated with respect.

How is Learnlife different from traditional education?

Mentoring and Community

Your child will be guided by a mentor and supported by a positive community to achieve their goals.

Is your child prepared for an unknown future?

The world is changing rapidly—and education needs to adapt. 

Millions of new opportunities will open up for those who possess adaptability, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

Yet many schools still prioritise memorisation over creativity, standardised tests over emotional intelligence, and rigid curriculums that leave essential life skills behind.

  • By 2030, 22% of current jobs will be significantly transformed due to automation and AI (World Economic Forum, 2025)
  • Studies show that adaptability, resilience, and critical thinking are more important than ever for future success. (OECD, 2023)

At the Village Hub, we embrace this change, empowering your child with the skills and confidence to thrive in school and life.

Primary and Secondary Learning programmes for children aged 6+

learner-working-independently

Our primary and secondary programmes are for children who want to step beyond traditional education.

Children explore who they are and who they want to be following a competency model that develops their skills in five key areas.

With the guidance of a mentor, your child will develop their ability to own their learning journey within structured learning experiences. This makes learning meaningful, fosters a deep sense of connection and cultivates lifelong learning skills.

Where our graduates go

We help learners find their 'why' and achieve their dreams - any country, university, employment or career.

Our graduates are now studying at top universities, freelancing, or launching their own businesses. More importantly, they're following their passions and purpose. The map below shows some example destinations.

FAQs

Yes. Our curriculum, called the Learnlife Competency Model, is recognised as a leading global education innovation. It’s built on years of research and best practices from pioneering educators around the world.

 

It aligns with the local Ministry of Education while integrating the critical skills learners need for a thriving future. These skills are embedded in our five key learning domains and delivered through what we call our Building Blocks:

  • Learning to Be

  • Learning to Think

  • Learning to Learn

  • Learning to Relate

  • Learning to Act

Our learning experiences promote agency, are rooted in real-world relevance, and draw from a variety of methodologies.

We prioritise deep learning and foundational skill development in everything we do.

Through our competency model, learners build strong academic foundations across literacy, numeracy, science, and other key domains, integrated with real-world application.

 

Our interdisciplinary approach connects learning across subjects and fosters skills such as critical thinking, collaboration and creativity.

 

Regular reflection, feedback, and authentic assessment help learners understand where they are and what’s next, while building confidence and independence.

 

The learners gradually grow their understanding of the wider world within this framework.  

We focus on authentic, competency-based assessment rather than traditional exams or grades.

Progress is captured throughout the year using the Learning Vitae, a dynamic tool that offers a holistic view of each learner’s growth. It provides clear insights into where learners are in their journey and includes tangible evidence of their achievements.

 In addition, secondary learners share and reflect on their learning through:

  • Showcases: Held once per cycle, these community events allow learners to present their work
  • 360 Assessments: At the end of each cycle, learners reflect on their goals and share their growth with their families and learning guide. Parents also have the chance to contribute feedback

Yes! However, we think of pathways that are much broader than this.

 

Our Pathways to Possibilities programme helps learners find their 'why' and achieve their dreams - any country, university, employment or career.

Our graduates are now studying at top universities, freelancing, or launching their own businesses. More importantly, they're following their passions and purpose.

If learners need to pass an exam to get to their chosen pathway, we can adapt their schedule and help them prepare for this. Several learners have done this with no problem. In fact, their exam results are well above national benchmarks!

 

With personal mentorship and portfolio development, our graduates leave ready to take their next step. Confident, capable, and future-ready.

Learners have a pathways discussion to explore their options and make a plan to reach their goals. Their mentors support them throughout this process.

Our programmes are delivered in English. We offer Spanish and Catalan to develop language skills.


We celebrate diversity and multilingualism and provide many opportunities to develop language skills and an interest in local culture.

 

Our Learning Guides are multilingual and speak English, Spanish and Catalan. 

Yes. Our team includes qualified educators as well as individuals with rich professional experience from a variety of sectors.

 

Beyond credentials, we prioritise cultural fit, shared values, and the ability to build meaningful relationships with learners. This helps us create a vibrant, nurturing learning culture.

Every child has their own unique strengths and we’re here to celebrate and support those.

 

When additional support is needed (whether diagnosed or identified by our team), we collaborate closely with families to co-create an individualised learning plan. These plans evolve with the learner and focus on their goals, strengths and needs.

 

Support is led by our Learning Support Lead and may include:

  • Learning Guides and Assistants

  • Personalised plans

  • Coordination with external specialists (e.g. psychologists, speech therapists)

Areas of support include:

  • Language acquisition for non-native speakers

  • Executive functioning, literacy, and numeracy

  • Social-emotional growth and wellbeing

  • Pathways for gifted learners

To ensure balance, we limit the number of high-support learners per Hub.

Our community is globally diverse, with families from 32 nationalities across five continents. The most common nationalities include Spain (25%), the USA (19%), the UK (9%), and Israel/Germany (6%).
