Montessori Palau Girona consists of five buildings. It is surrounded by wooded zones and play and sports areas. The total surface area is 150,000 square metres. Classrooms are up to 200 square metres in size. This configuration preserves the advantages of a small school, such as familiarity and individuality, while benefiting from the advantages of a large school.
Facilities of the Cultural and Sports Club use the Montessori Palau Girona spaces. They include seven music classrooms, a sports hall, and an athletics stadium. There are three swimming pools and two gyms. The site features an artificial grass football field and a natural grass football field. There are eight basketball courts, two volleyball courts, and two indoor football courts.
Infant classrooms are bright and large, between 100 and 200 square metres, with direct access to the outdoor environment and Montessori materials designed for the child and arranged in a precise order to awaken interest and sensitivity. Primary classrooms are bright and large, between 100 and 150 square metres, with Montessori materials and in-house designed resources, laboratory spaces and multimedia materials that provide access to all fields of knowledge. The forest, the orchard and the farm are also part of this environment, and cultural outings help learners understand how the world works. The classrooms for the first to third years of ESO are 200 square metres, and are equipped with a kitchen and a laboratory to enable diversified work, cooperative groups and knowledge management, with ICT integrated throughout. In the fourth year of ESO and in Bachillerato, classrooms are specialized to deepen each knowledge area; the environment allows students to work autonomously in teams in shared spaces and to consolidate their social personality and identity. Together with the rest of the school environment, the surrounding environment and real world are part of the learning experience, including many activities outside the center and visits by specialists.
Cultural Club offers artistic and musical activities to develop the creative and expressive side and overall growth. It includes instrument instruction in piano, violin, viola, flute, guitar and drums, as well as singing lessons, with concerts and music auditions organized in city auditoriums open to the public. Pupils can also participate in chess to boost intellectual development, and take part in an art workshop for drawing, painting, sculpture and theatre. Sports Club offers physical activities to develop physical and mental aspects, including basketball, football, volleyball and athletics, after the school day for all ages from five, supervised by qualified trainers.
Montessori Palau Girona is a private, non-state school serving ages 0–18, structured around the Montessori approach from early years through secondary education. Infant education emphasizes neuro-sensory-psychomotor development and social experience, with development materials and a multilingual foundation in four languages. Primary education follows an interdisciplinary Cosmic Education model with a long school day to support exploration, and languages taught include Catalan, Spanish, English and German. Secondary education broadens linguistic study to six languages—Catalan, Spanish, English, French, German and Latin—with extended hours for English, mathematics, languages and sciences, and opportunities for service and production occupations and internships. The Linguistic Project integrates languages throughout stages, introducing French in secondary and Cambridge and DELF qualifications. AMI accreditation underpins the Montessori method, complemented by neuroscience research and the school's Innovation and Training Section. The campus spans five buildings on 150,000 square metres, with forested areas, laboratories, and diverse sports and cultural facilities, fostering talent through external competitions such as Physics Olympiads and MMUN.
