Parent Experience

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

Extracurricular activities include Bambini Art, Fine Arts, Music, Drama, Languages (English, Chinese) and a Sports Club, supporting arts, languages, and physical education.
