OUR HIGH SCHOOL
IES Celrà is a state secondary school from the
Education Department of the “Generalitat de Catalunya” that lies in the village
of Celrà, in the north-east of Girona (Catalonia, Spain).
Our school welcomes students from over ten
villages around it that are not big enough to have their own state secondary
school. We host four groups at each level of compulsory secondary education and
two groups at each level of non-compulsory education.
It takes pride in having developed an Educative
School Project. First, by promoting four languages such as Catalan, Spanish,
English and French. Secondly, by enhancing the students’ diversity of
capacities and motivations through giving special attention to special needs. Thirdly,
by fostering the integration of New Technologies into the learning process. And
finally, by promoting high-qualified education with a European dimension, for
example taking part in partnerships. In
order to work and achieve this European dimension, the school has applied for
European project funds in the past. That project is known as Comenius.
Currently, our school has the will to resume the European dimension and give
our students the chance to work side by side with other European peers on
cross-curricular activities.
The participation in projects such as these
gives our students the chance to develop a European dimension. This means
working in collaboration with other European partners from different school
systems, learning from their culture and
language, sharing and working in
teams, eliminating stereotypes, being
stricter with and more responsible for their work, learning to meet deadlines,
taking advantage of the use of new technologies etc.
