private, non-state school

The Psychology and Counselling Service provides psycho-pedagogical support for all students across educational stages, offering guidance, care and resources for academic performance and emotional well-being.

The school offers a transport service with sixteen routes across Girona province and surrounding counties (Alt Empordà, Baix Empordà, La Selva, Maresme, Pla de l'estany and Gironès). A companion accompanies students on every journey, and a school‑approved software manages transport changes.

Infant Education goes beyond the official curriculum and is based on the Montessori method, focusing on neuro-sensory-psychomotor development and social experience, with development materials and four languages. Primary Education uses an interdisciplinary Cosmic Education approach, with a long school day to support exploration, and languages in Primary are Catalan, Spanish, English and German. Secondary Education includes six languages—Catalan, Spanish, English, French, German and Latin—and provides more hours for English, mathematics, languages and sciences, with service and production occupations and internships. The Linguistic Project integrates languages across stages, with French added at the Secondary stage and Cambridge and DELF qualifications prepared, to promote multilingual and intercultural capacity. The curriculum is personalised and designed with AMI accreditation and neuroscience research, supported by the Innovation and Training Section, and talent is promoted through external competitions and awards such as Physics Olympiads and MMUN.

Projects to encourage talent: The Montessori Palau Girona curriculum focuses on uncovering the talents of each student and offers external competitions and awards; a teachers' committee analyses and tailors activities to the curriculum. Students have won prizes in Physics Olympiads, the Young Scientific Parliament and translations contests such as Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) competitions, and there are opportunities such as La Pedrera Foundation's Youth & Science awards.

The Psychology and Counselling Service is designed to support the psycho-pedagogical work at all educational stages by providing guidelines, knowledge and vision to the programmes and methodologies. It also provides care, support and resources for all students, from those who are most able to those who require support in their academic performance and/or emotional well-being. As a support to the teaching team, the psychologist for the stage makes specific and integrated interventions in daily activity for any student who needs it, either on the initiative of the tutor or through the student themselves. If the student requires deeper involvement, they will be recommended to contact the Psychology and Counselling Service for an individual evaluation and, where appropriate, a work plan will be devised. The service also offers family counselling in those cases where it is required. Source: Montessori Palau Girona — Psychology and Counselling Service

This service is aimed at both students of the school and those from outside who have experienced some difficulty in their functional, cognitive, learning, psychomotor, familial, social or emotional development. This service is also intended for families who need guidance on their educational role at home. The Psychology and Counselling Service is made up of a multidisciplinary team of professionals with extensive psycho-educational and clinical experience, specialising in neuropsychology, psychopedagogics, psychotherapy, pedagogy, speech therapy and psychomotor skills. Within these fields, we employ the most advanced theories and methodologies, ranging from neuropsychological concepts to emotional aspects. The school has a team of psychologists that works closely with the teaching team and external professionals in order to preserve privacy and independence.

The linguistic project follows the mother tongue theory and promotes the learning of Catalan, Spanish, English and German from Infant education and French is added at the Secondary stage. The school offers more hours of foreign language teaching and works in small groups and with native teachers. In addition, in some subjects English is used as the working language and students are prepared for the official Cambridge and DELF qualifications. There are six languages taught from Infant Education to the last year of Secondary schooling. Languages are used from a practical perspective and in an environment where students must use the language in their everyday life. The School has an International Projects team who are responsible for promoting various initiatives such as the German or Finnish student exchange, the European Youth Parliament (EYP), or Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN), among others.
