Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

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

MGIS has a family atmosphere with private, personalized teaching in small groups. It operates at a European academic level with a multilingual education plan, teaching students in four languages. Extracurricular activities include Bambini Art, Fine Arts, Music, Drama, Languages (English, Chinese) and a Sports Club, supporting arts, languages, and physical education. News items show student trips, including journeys to Sevilla, illustrating a community that engages students beyond the classroom.
