Our everyday work is based on promoting tolerance, the respect of the rules and a well treatment for everybody, the growth of school as a community in which everybody can feel well and be an active member with a leading role in his/her learning process. One of the four buildings of our institution is the school that was founded by the sociologist and pacifist Danilo Dolci. It is located on a hill into the nature and there teachers promote outdoor learning and other activities aimed to keeping alive the teaching of D.Dolci. For 3 years our primary and secondary school has adopted the DADA (didactics for learning environments) model, a pedagogical innovation based on Dewey’s theory of pedagogical activism and enhance a model of school seen as a cooperative community in which students can actively build their knowledge. Each subject is taught in a different lab and students move from one classroom to another. Cassarà-Guida is the first DADA school in Sicily and our students have compulsory and optional subjects. The school has also a music course with an orchestra, in which students can choose to study one of four musical instruments: trumpet, piano, percussion, and violin. For many years the school has been working on Erasmus KA1 and KA2 projects and the internationalization, the collaboration and comparison with other European realities have been a real strength for our school and have allowed us to grow in the management and organization.
