In the context of the current debate on the use of screens by children, Engage International School has established itself as a safe environment that offers families the guarantee of a responsible and controlled use of technology in their classrooms. The school’s principal, Carolina López, has just received the ORO certification as a Responsible Screens Certified School from the Trébol Educación Foundation’s Trustee, Juan Guerrero.
This recognition reflects their commitment to a digital education that prioritises the wellbeing of the entire educational community. Among their outstanding practices, they have implemented a Comprehensive Plan that combines the balanced and safe use of technology with innovative initiatives such as digital self-regulation workshops for students, continuous training for teachers in digital skills and specific programmes to support families in the responsible use of screens at home.
In addition, its teaching team works actively to promote ergonomic habits and healthy breaks, designing spaces that favour postural hygiene and minimise the risks associated with prolonged use of devices. The school incorporates analogue alternatives in the daily classroom and uses diversity-friendly strategies to ensure full inclusion. They also regularly evaluate their policies and practices, sharing their learning with other schools to encourage positive change in digital education nationally.
Moreover, Engage International School has platforms to help them manage content, monitoring and controlling students’ digital activity in real time, ensuring that they do not access inappropriate content and promoting improved learning effectiveness.
In addition, the Dukes Education group, to which Engage belongs, has a Digital Leader, a technology manager who leads the impact of the introduction of technology tools in schools, selecting the most appropriate resources, managing risks and ensuring cybersecurity and child protection.
This not only positions Engage as a benchmark in the responsible use of technology, but also reinforces its mission to educate digital citizens who are aware, autonomous and prepared for a sustainable future.
