History	History Montessori Palau Girona began in October 1967 as a school linked with the Montessori School in Girona. Founders Lluís Julià Ventura and Maria Barnadas Rigau moved it to the outskirts of the city into a nature-surrounded setting, and from the outset it was a mixed school that included cultural and sporting aspects with plans for first‑class facilities. In the 1990s the school underwent pedagogical renewal toward the Montessori Method, starting with AMI‑certified staff training and professionalising management while remaining a family‑run school. The Montessori Educational Method, together with teaching innovations and educational research, has led Montessori Palau Girona to become an internationally renowned centre with more than one thousand pupils. A new generation took over in 1991, continuing the development of the Montessori project.	History Montjuïc Girona International School was founded as a private, co-educational Catalan school serving ages 0 to 18 and teaching in Catalan, Spanish, English and French. The school follows an early-learning concept, a guiding principle that was controversial in the 1970s but is now supported by the European Union, UNESCO and the international scientific community. Its pedagogy blends Montessori principles with an open, inclusive philosophy and spaces designed to fit the needs of each age group. Beginnings recount the founder, María Eugenia Prades, describing the effort to move beyond an impersonal model and noting Dr. Rachel Cohen's influence in expanding early learning. Education and happiness are the two guiding principles, shaping a learning environment where pupils develop as well-rounded, respectful, curious, and socially engaged individuals.
Community	Community The Cultural and Sports Club began its activity in 1969 as one of the fundamental pillars of education to meet the sporting and artistic needs of participants, operating from the bases of effort, performance and values to guide personal growth through sport, music and artistic disciplines.

Montessori Palau Girona offers cultural activities such as learning instruments (piano, violin, viola, flute, guitar and drums), singing lessons, and annual concerts and music auditions open to the public, as well as chess, art workshops and theatre. Open Days provide families with a general overview of the surroundings and classrooms, with tours of all stages or specific stages.

It operates at a European academic level with a multilingual education plan, teaching students in four languages. Extracurricular activities include Bambini Art, Fine Arts, Music, Drama, Languages (English, Chinese) and a Sports Club, supporting arts, languages, and physical education. News items show student trips, including journeys to Sevilla, illustrating a community that engages students beyond the classroom.

Workshops are organized for small groups of parents to discuss and exchange experiences and are designed for families at the Infant and Primary Education Stages; Infant‑stage workshops are also open to families outside the school. Thematic topics cover psychomotor development and physical activity, practical life, nutrition, boundaries and tantrums, children and the environment, responsibility, self‑discipline and freedom, school life, affectivity and sexuality, language and communication, social development, physical and emotional health, and autonomy and decision‑making.
