Languages

SIL runs a trilingual project (English, Catalan and Spanish) that has been in place since 1978. All three languages are used as languages of instruction and not only taught as subjects: subjects such as Physical Education, Arts and Crafts, Science and Geography are taught in English, while Mathematics, Religion, History and Economics are taught in Spanish. Pupils take additional timetabled hours of English in order to sit Cambridge English examinations at the school itself, validated by the University of Cambridge: Starters, Movers and Flyers in Primary, and Key, PET, First and Advanced in Secondary. French is introduced in compulsory secondary education (ESO), where pupils prepare over four years for the DELF or DALF diplomas.

My children study in that school since about 8 years ago. They are quite happy and motivated to learn, the staff has been great and whenever we have had any issue, the director has immediately intervened to solve it. The facilities are also great!

We have been at the school for 8 years and we are very satisfied with the results. As in any school, there are things to improve, but the Management has been able to respond appropriately when we have had any concerns or disagreements. My daughters are happy there and without a doubt, the academic level is very good. Excellent facilities and very familiar treatment.
