/

The Narcís Monturiol Secondary School (Montbau, Horta-Guinardó) celebrated its 50th anniversary during the 2018-2019 academic year. It is a small school, with two classes per secondary year and one Baccalaureate class. The size of the school means knowledge of the whole educational area is possible and everyone’s involvement with the school is one of the factors that makes it different.
