Biography

Institut Joan Coromines is a state secondary school located in the Hostafrancs neighbourhood founded in 1978. The school’s educational approach is based on fluid, constant links with primary education centres in the neighbourhood. Institut Joan Coromines has taken part in “Educat 1x1” since this educational project was first launched, and throughout secondary school, all the pupils work in small groups (less than fifteen per class). This enables a more personalised approach to pupils, as well as ensuring attention to diversity. The school stays open until 7.30 pm every day to enable pupils to take part in different activities, such as doing their homework or doing sport. The library is also open until that time, and computers with Internet connection are available to enable pupils to work on their school projects.
