Holss

A living learning ecosystem designed from a systemic perspective,
where everything is connected and finds meaning through relationships.

At Holss, we accompany childhood with presence and purpose,
cultivating five essential intelligences:emotional,social,cognitive,physical, andcreative.

A Holistic Approach to Learning

Cognitive


Thinking critically and connecting ideas to real life.

Social

Building empathy, teamwork, and respect.

Creative

Expressing imagination through art, movement, and play.

Emotional


Recognizing, naming, and navigating emotions.

Physical

Moving consciously and feeling at home in the body.

LIFE IN HOLSS

Conscious Nourishment


Every day begins and flows with mindful eating. Meals at Holss are plant-based, balanced, and nourishing—not just for the body, but for the planet.

Children share lunch as a community ritual: they serve themselves, choose their portions, and eat calmly, guided by presence and gratitude. This approach teaches them self-regulation, respect for food, and the joy of eating in harmony with nature.

LIFE IN HOLSS

Connection with Nature


Learning at Holss doesn’t happen only inside classrooms. The beach, the river, and the gardens are part of the learning space.

Children plant seeds, explore natural materials, and observe the cycles of life. Through daily contact with the earth, they learn science, patience, and empathy. Nature becomes both teacher and classroom, reminding them of interdependence and the beauty of simplicity.

LIFE IN HOLSS

Emotional Awareness


Every morning starts with rituals of presence—short circles where children share how they feel and learn to name their emotions.

Teachers (or “mentors”) guide them to listen, breathe, and find balance before beginning the day. Instead of punishment or reward, reflection and dialogue are used to help children understand, repair, and grow from each experience. Emotional education is lived, not taught.

Creative Expression


Art, movement, music, and storytelling are woven into daily life.

Children are invited to express their inner world through painting, rhythm, theater, and free play. Creativity at Holss isn’t an isolated subject—it’s the way knowledge unfolds. Every project allows them to imagine new possibilities, explore ideas, and bring them to life through their own voice and hands.

LIFE IN HOLSS

Community and Presence


The rhythm of the day is guided by rituals—gatherings to open and close the day, moments of silence, gratitude circles, and celebrations of collective achievements.

These practices build a deep sense of belonging and respect. Each child feels seen, heard, and part of something larger. Presence, kindness, and cooperation are not values recited—they are lived in every interaction.

  • Manuela, Amelia & Simón

    As a family from Medellín, we wanted our 8-year-old girl to experience something beyond the city — and Palomino gave us exactly that. At Holss Palomino she discovered a way of learning that felt free and inspiring, surrounded by nature and new friends.

  • Rosario, Felipe, Silvestre & Santi

    We returned to Palomino for the second year in a row because what we experienced here is simply unique. For our children, ages 6 and 9, Holss Palomino has been a one-of-a-kind place: they learn through play, connected to nature and sharing with local children. Within a few days, they were already running between the river and the beach, enjoying the freedom of a safe environment.

  • Lina, Caliche & Juanse

    We started our journey at Holss Rionegro, and when the opportunity came to continue in Palomino, we knew it was the right step. For our 8-year-old son, the transition felt natural — the same philosophy of learning, but now with the magic of the sea, rivers, and the Sierra Nevada.
