The foundation
Turning the curriculum into life
We’re not saying textbooks should be tossed in the trash. No. The official curriculum is the perfect excuse to teach what actually matters. We’ll use it as scaffolding, but instead of building a tower of theory, we’re building a gym for life.
Math: Theorems? Equations? Fine. But 80% of the time will be spent running a business. Calculating taxes, negotiating a loan, understanding a balance sheet. This isn’t about “x” and “y”—it’s about euros and cents.
Language & Literature: Instead of dissecting Lope de Vega until you’re numb, we’ll teach students to write a solid contract, a complaint letter that gets results, a résumé that lands a job, or a YouTube script that could kickstart a business.
Grammar comes from writing, literature comes from reading whatever sparks curiosity.
History: Dates and battles? Basics, sure. But the real story is human behavior. How do you handle frustration in a project? How do you lead a team? How was capitalism built, and what the hell is speculation? The past becomes a tool to understand the present—and to stop repeating the same mistakes.
Science: Biology isn’t just memorizing the Krebs cycle. It’s learning to read a blood test, recognizing which foods are damaging your health, and understanding how the body reacts to stress. Physics isn’t just formulas—it’s figuring out how a phone works or how to cut down energy use at home.
This is just the foundation, but we have much more planned.
Beyond teaching: a system designed for mastery and confidence.
Deep Work Blocks
2–3h morning sessions focused on core subjects.
No fragmented 45-minute lessons; sustained focus accelerates mastery.
Adaptive AI ensures each student advances at their own pace.
Life Skills at the Core
Financial literacy, contract literacy, taxes, and career orientation.
Embedded into daily projects and afternoon workshops.
Always taught as essential, never optional.
Mentorship over Management
Each student matched with a dedicated mentor (ratio 1:12–15).
Mentors track both academic growth and personal wellbeing.
AI dashboards help mentors tailor challenges in real time.
AI as a Tool, Not a Trend
Unlimited questions answered through adaptive AI.
Personalized practice exercises and progress tracking.
Technology complements, never replaces, human guidance.
Project-Based Outcomes
Subjects merged into real-world projects with measurable results.
From simple apps in Primary to Masterpieces in Bachillerato.
Digital portfolios with evidence of progress across competencies.
Will students spend all their time on screens because of AI?
No. AI is used strategically to personalize practice and track progress, but the core of the experience is human: mentorship, collaboration, and project work. Technology is a tool, not a substitute for teachers.
How do you measure student progress?
QHUMA uses an internal software platform that maps exactly what each student must cover during the year. This system gives families and mentors transparent visibility on mastery levels, gaps to close, and achievements reached—ensuring no student falls behind.
How do you ensure the methodology scales effectively?
Our model is designed for efficiency: fewer teaching hours lost to repetition, smaller mentor-to-student ratios, and a digital backbone that tracks progress in real time. This structure makes it replicable across campuses and scalable without compromising quality.
What evidence supports the effectiveness of this model?
QHUMA’s methodology builds on proven frameworks such as Bloom’s 2-Sigma model and Alpha School’s accelerated learning results. By integrating mastery learning with adaptive AI and strong mentorship, schools using similar approaches have consistently achieved higher test scores, stronger university placements, and measurable student outcomes. QHUMA applies these principles within the Spanish legal framework.
