Secondary school

"Learning to think"

The Secondary Education (ESO) is the educational stage after Primary Education, and involves a four-year itinerary.

Our methodology

The methodology we use at secondary school is based on these four transversal axes that are fundamental and characteristic in our educational relationship between student and teacher:

1.

Knowledge and praxis of the subject to be taught

The teacher knows the objectives and structure of the curriculum, assuming responsibility for the students’ learning. He/ she knows exactly what he/ she is proposing and what purpose it has. The teachers know the students’ prior knowledge and what direction you want to work towards. Complex learning is broken down into its constituent elements, advancing in an orderly manner. Critical sense and fundamental reasoning are present in their work.

2.

Learning in the relational field.

Taking care of the school climate provides emotional security to the student. Students’ errors are always considered as opportunities for personal growth and in their knowledge. Recurrent evaluation helps to specify the phase of learning and its monitoring.

3.

Adequate didactic Formation.

The design of the teaching process involves various aspects that are essential for its successful completion. We highlight the following: correct time management, the incorporation of routines in school practice, the proposal of stimulating activities and the reduction of external distractions. This design helps our students maintain an active presence in the teaching process.

4.

Referring authority.

Students grant referential authority when the teacher transmits passion and professionalism in their subject. Adequate and precise oral competence with a broad specific vocabulary enriches the educational experience and the linguistic background of the student.

General aspects

The methodology described is supported by the following points so that it can develop and reach the diversity of the students:

Split groups

Catalan Language, Spanish Language, English, 2nd language (French, German or Italian), Mathematics, Biology, Technology and the optional subjects of 4th secondary school students are the divided subjects, taking into account the different levels of learning. In this manner, about 70% of teaching hours are carried out in divided groups.

Practical teaching

Teaching and learning Mathematics and Social Sciences from problems, documents, maps and analysis of current and historical conflicts, without a textbook.

Teaching Methodology

Serious work methodology, where the teaching and learning of the Spanish and Catalan languages is carried out based on reading comprehensions and literary works, without using textbooks.

Laboratory activities

Integration of weekly Natural Science practice in the Biology, Physics and Chemistry laboratories.

Volunteering

Design of volunteer activities in 3rd and 4th Secondary school students with the participation of all students.

Physical Education in English

Physical Education is taught in English, two hours per week.

English

Four levels of English language learning, four hours per week.

Psychopedagogical office

Attention to diversity is addressed in coordination with the team of tutors, through the development of individualized plans that can be reviewed each trimester.
