Participation in projects of international cooperation

Our institution participates in projects of international cooperation with the general purpose of integrating our pupils in Europe. Subjects like democratic organization, permanent dialogue, respect to national diversities and the political and economic reunification of Europe, as well as the respect and conservation of our environment and knowledge of the different realities, are important within our educational project. Therefore, our objectives and priorities are based on improving the formation in the previously mentioned fields.
With our participation in projects of international cooperation we are trying to, apart from improving language learning, fixing the bases so that the pupils in our centre know, appreciate and participate in an active way in the different realities of other countries in Europe, since they will be who, in a future, will have to become aware of their own European citizenship.

Our school is managed by a board team that decides the policy that we have to follow in the field of international activities, but it is the professional teaching staff, divided into different departments and coordinations, who work actively and with a total implication in the elaboration and coordination of different projects.

Our School

El CIM School, with 750 students, is a semi-private school (public school in Britain) managed by a cooperative society of workers, with an antiquity of more than 40 years, which is defined as a Catalan school, plural and opened to everybody.

Coinciding with the beginning of the school year 1995/96, the School moved from an old building to a new one. These new facilities, conceived like another element incorporated to the learning process, opened great future possibilities in an urban frame, which facilitated the educative task. The families of our school belong to a lower middle-class.

The center teaches Pre-School Education, Primary Education and Compulsory Secondary Education.
The main target of the school is the integral formation of its pupils, based on a significant learning, respect towards people and natural and social surroundings. The school is open to integration inside the educative process, reason why in its classrooms there are students with disabilities, and emigrants’ children.
