School location

Our school is located in Blanes, a coastal town on the Costa Brava. The town is close to Girona and other attractions such as the Salvador Dalí museums in Figueres and the Gala Castle in Púbol.

We are a study centre committed to offering quality educational and recreational products from day one with teaching professionals who put into practice didactic actions (classes, courses, workshops, work, games,...) to stimulate and identify the innate abilities, interests and desires of our students because they are the values or indexes of the different intelligences.

We will strive for the constant motivation of our pupils and, extensively, the satisfaction of their parents, through innovation, creativity, enthusiasm, determination and a deep sense of respect for the pupils (children, young people and adults) who we will provide with a magnificent academic and emotional preparation consisting of the acquisition of autonomy and their own criteria in order to develop in their own time.

"Good with potential for improvement"

Harald Meder, student from Switzerland

What was great: The teacher had studied German language and literature and was very competent, committed and friendly throughout the 3-hour individual lessons. I could ask anything, he helped patiently. It's just that he mostly spoke too quickly and too complicated for me, but he got better towards the end.
So I'm basically satisfied. Secretary was also very friendly and helpful

What could the school do better:
= The lessons were weak in terms of adult education/didactics: 1 workbook that was only there for illustration purposes; I couldn't buy it either. Otherwise, not a sheet of paper, not a pen, not a sip of water for students and teachers. After the 5 days I hadn't received a single piece of documentation
= 3 hours in a row without a minute break (unless I had to...or requested it on the last day)
= the lesson times were massively changed 3 days before the start: from morning to evening, from 4 to 5 days - I had to be very flexible
= I was expecting a group and wanted one too. Advantage of individual lessons for maximum efficiency
= A kind of final test via projector was chaotic for over 2 hours. I didn't understand the goal or the meaning and didn't receive any real feedback about what I had achieved

Conclusion: Thanks to the personality of the teacher: OK to good - but the school can significantly improve didactics: Provide teaching materials at a minimum.
