Secondary – 12 a 16 years of age

“School of experience in the elements of social life” M. Montessori

 

We are in the process of the final accreditation for ESO

 

With a mixed group of four age groups, the secondary environment offers a new blueprint for active and meaningful learning where the student becomes the creator of his or her experience. It is currently with the provisional approval and is expected to obtain the final approval from Gencat at the end of the 2023-24 school year.

​

Our environment and pedagogical accompaniment recognizes the needs of this maturity stage and offers opportunities to learn from experience, creation and contribution to society.


In response to their vital needs of construction and response to "who am I? and what am I here to do?", we offer a joint co-creation of knowledge and learning, not only academic but also the acquisition of skills that will help them discover and develop their vocation and life purpose.

​

The educators accompany each young person to: 
 

  • move between freedom and responsibility

    to discover and explore their "self

  • to initiate a respectful path with oneself through self-expression and self-expression.

  • to go through and build together their moral development and actions of service to the community.

  • to achieve by their own efforts

  • to find healthy methods (both physical and psychological) to solve problems and attend to their vital doubts.

  • continue to grow from respect by acquiring a concept of respectful sexuality

  • developing their spiritual balance
