Baccalaureate

High school teachers are aware of what it means to teach at this stage. That is why, in addition to being specialists in their subjects, they feel fully involved in the personal and academic accompaniment of their students.

Some of the methodologies used in this stage are:

• Bilateral learning (teacher-student feedback).
• Thought-based learning (learning is more than memorizing; it is turning information into knowledge).
• Collaborative learning.
• Use of audiovisual material.
• Preparation for obtaining Cambridge diplomas (FCE, CAE).
• Realization of laboratory practices (Physics, Chemistry, Biology).
• Practical outings in the closest environment (Astronomical Park, Alba synchrotron, internships at the UAB or the IQS …).
• Routes and literary talks.
• Flipped Classroom.
• Creative activities applied to Literature.

To facilitate multi methodology, we use subject-classrooms. This means that the students, in addition to learning in more general classrooms, also learn in the different laboratories of the school (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), and the seminars.

The high school tutor has several tasks:

• They do the academic monitoring of the student.
• They guide the student regarding their further studies (level of studies, choice of degrees).
• They maintain contact with the school’s psycho-pedagogical team to address student situations, such as improving the study method, the schedule, time planning, improving concentration, etc …
• They hold two group meetings with families: one before starting the course and another in the middle of the second term.
• They arrange necessary family tutorial meetings for the follow-up of the student (with a minimum of two each course).

Although the main activities for high school tutoring are about the academic subjects, education in values ​​continues to be of paramount importance at this stage. Therefore, to make our students reflect on various aspects, we organize a series of activities such as:

• Philosophical coffee
• Awareness talks (women and science, human rights, children’s rights, La Marató of TV3, human relations, etc.)
• Collaboration with the Vicente Ferrer Foundation, with a study trip to its headquarters in Anantapur (India). Before the trip, our students raise funds that are invested in different projects of the FVF, such as the construction of schools or houses. Contact with Indian culture makes our students return to their reality with an unrepeatable life experience.

To complement high school studies, our students do a series of activities that help them to reinforce the content they are studying and to think about their future. Some of these activities include participation in:

• Apropa’t als estudis superiors: a set of talks and round tables organized by our school and in our school.
• Olympics (about Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics).
• Kangaroo tests: international mathematical competition.
• Open days of different universities.
• Entrepreneurship Conference: workshops and experiences from the world of economics.
• Saló de l’ensenyament.
