New developments for this academic year 25-26:
- The school only provides specific Spanish and Catalan language and culture courses to families moving to Barcelona.
- The children's reading club (ages 6-9) will take a gender perspective, reading in Spanish and Catalan about important female figures in history from the beautiful Pequeña & Grande collection.
- The adult reading club (level B2, advanced or for native speakers) is dedicated this year to the theme of MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS.
- The school newsletter will no longer be monthly and will only appear when the school has something important or interesting to say related to the Spanish and Catalan language and culture.
- And finally, whenever possible, the school will prioritise face-to-face classes, looking each other in the eye without screens, in our beloved neighbourhood of Poblenou in Barcelona.
