Igualada's details - Spain

Escoles de l'Ateneu Igualadí is a little Nursery and Primary School of 265 students and 15 teachers. We are located in Igualada which is a small town 80 km far from Barcelona. The school website is www.ateneuigualadi.org/escoles The school is placed in the middle of the old town. The building is historical and it is part of a bigger institution which started in 1900 as a centre to develop workers education.
Most of the students are middleclass, but in the school we also have migrants, pupils with special needs and pupils at risk of social exclusion. The number of these students is 2/ 3 per class so the school can achieve their aims and integrate them. We have worked in international projects before, see website: www.kinderfilosofie.nl The school aim is to envolve our students in their own process of learning, through motivating and creative methodology, cooperative learning and using new technologies and content integrated foreign language learning.
