Josefina Castellví Secondary School + British Council
The school specialises in the educational methodologies from the United Kingdom via the British Council.
In the tandem arrangement between Josefina Castellví Secondary School + British Council, English and the educational methodologies from the United Kingdom become a cross-curricular strand in this school, which focuses on encouraging scientific vocations, among other goals.
Training the teachers in the CLIL methodology enables them to apply it in all learning processes, associating contents and preparing students’ knowledge with their future professional competences, which are often developed in English. Additionally, the emphasis on the sense of belonging and the school culture are also key points in this project.
