Schooling: From age 12 to age 16 our students take their four courses of Compulsory Secondary Education. After obtaining their equivalent to a GSCE they can continue their education either by taking a 2 year course on Computer Vocational Studies or going onto a two year course (Batxillerat) that will prepare them to take the University Entrance Exams (Selectivitat).
Moreover given the diversity of our students we are pioneers in different programmes that try to cater for their different needs. For new arrivals we have Aula d’ Acollida a class where students learn the language while also attending some ordinary classes so that they can feel fully integrated in the school. For those who struggle with the standard syllabus there is also the possibility to learn in a more practical and manipulative way this preparing them for their professional future.
