What Our Community Says

Alejandra Clerici Arias
Administrator at Colegio Del Arce – Chile
What I value most about the VESS model is how it enables students to develop autonomy and critical thinking. This approach turns them into agents of change, fostering collaboration and teamwork. Unlike other models, VESS provides tools for students to build their own competencies, with teachers acting as consistent guides. The impact on both their personal and academic growth is significant. As a school leader, I feel constantly supported through ongoing guidance and training for better implementation of the model.
Marina Hess
Elementary School Director at Colegio del Arce – Argentina
It was an incredible experience of cohesion and collaboration across all the levels and campuses of the school, inspiring and motivating the staff who gain a sense of responsibility for the achievements of the student, family, and faculty community, all guided by an innovative idea: the Culture of Thinking. Thank you, Colegio del Arce, for making it possible for us who are committed to better education, to be trained to lead it! Edu1st VESS, we’re proud to welcome you for in-person training and virtual coaching, as you allow us to build a culture of thinking in your school year after year!
Alberto Hidalgo Navarro
Teacher at Colegio Montepinar – Spain
The way students connect with knowledge and with themselves when faced with different situations, along with the autonomy and efficiency this method empowers them with, is remarkable.
Paz Violeta Del Bosque De la Paz
Teacher at Colegio Wexford – Mexico
Seeing the students' enriching reflections — their emotions, questions, needs, experiences, what you get to know about their lives, families, thoughts, and spark, and Seeing how their thinking grows stronger is amazing!
Catalina Antunez
Teacher at Colegio Manquehue – Chile
Their process and approach to educating children is always backed by various tools and strategies to teach them how to work both in teams and independently.
Trinidad López López
Teacher at Colegio Carmelitas Callosa – Spain
VESS has been a major turning point for our school—a great transformation. I would highlight how training is paired with ongoing support.
María Josefina Besoain Undurraga
Teacher at Colegio Sagrados Corazones de Manquehue – Chile
I appreciate the structure of the model and how it supports the network of teachers and institutions. I’ve seen how it has grown and diversified—it’s a significant contribution to education.
Veronica Viñas
Teacher at Colegio Del Arce – Argentina
I find it very helpful that children become familiar with thinking routines. I was happy with, and really enjoyed the "cafecito" routine during the last school event. I believe that what happens with communication is very powerful, It makes understanding instructions easier and gives fluency to the tasks.
Maria Magdalena González
Teacher at Colegio Saint Mary – Chile
It allowed me to shift my perspective on many aspects of my personal and professional life. Being able to break paradigms about how we learn, and becoming aware that we are lifelong learners has deeply shaped my journey. It has opened me up to a constantly changing world.
Leticia Leal Verdú
Teacher at Colegio María Asunta – Chile
I appreciate their commitment to real transformation in education. I like that it starts with understanding how the brain works... I admire the constant evolution of the model and its refusal to stagnate... I love the VESS Network and being able to learn from other educators by sharing experiences.
Tania Catalina Bojorquez Valles
Instituto Piaget de los Mochis - México
I think it presents a way to innovate in our classroom practice, fostering a learning style that adapts to each student’s individual way of learning.

We transform education.
