BACCALAUREATE

In Baccalaureate, we work to prepare our students comprehensively, combining academic training, personalized guidance, and practical experiences to bring them closer to their future goals.

Each student is assigned a mentor who provides individualized support, helping them identify their strengths, areas for improvement, and aspirations. This is complemented by the Research Project (TDI), an opportunity for students to develop skills like critical thinking and independence while delving into a topic of personal interest. This process not only prepares them for university challenges but also helps them explore their passions and clarify their professional path.

We also promote social engagement through Service Learning projects, where students apply classroom knowledge to create activities that benefit the community. These initiatives strengthen skills like empathy, responsibility, and cooperation, leaving a positive impact on their surroundings.

We also bring students closer to the professional world through Work Experience programs, enabling them to explore the job market through internships, meetings with professionals, and school-based activities. These experiences help them understand how their learning applies in real-life settings, broaden their perspective, and prepare them for the future.

The Guidance Department plays a fundamental role in supporting students in choosing their academic and professional paths. We offer workshops, university visits, and education fairs to help students make well-informed decisions about their future. This guidance helps ease the pressure of this stage and ensures a solid transition to higher education.

Our students' academic results reflect our commitment to excellence. Baccalaureate students consistently achieve outstanding results in their studies and in the University Entrance Exams (PAU), thanks to rigorous preparation and the joint efforts of teachers and students. A high percentage gain admission to their first-choice university degrees. These achievements are the result of an educational model that combines academic excellence, personalized guidance, and practical experiences—empowering our students to pursue a future full of opportunities.

Our academic offer includes the following plans of study:

Humanities and Social Sciences

Health Sciences

Science and Technology

Individual Mentoring

In Baccalaureate, each student is supported by a mentor throughout this key stage. These one-on-one sessions help students identify strengths, areas for growth, and academic/professional aspirations, fostering self-management and informed decision-making. This close support ensures that every student has an individualized plan to reach their goals and maximize their potential. The mentoring process is closely tied to the development of their Research Project (TDI).

Research Project (TDI)

The Research Project offers students the opportunity to develop key skills such as scientific inquiry, critical thinking, and autonomy. With guidance from their mentors, students choose a topic of interest, research it in depth, and present their findings rigorously. This process not only prepares them for university-level work but also encourages curiosity and self-directed learning. It's an excellent chance for students to deepen their interests and make more informed decisions about their future academic paths—or even discover new personal passions.

Service Learning

We foster social engagement through Service Learning projects, which combine academic development with activities that benefit the community. Students apply knowledge from their subjects while strengthening empathy, cooperation, and civic responsibility. These projects are tailored to student interests and the opportunities available through partnerships with companies, associations, or programs.

First Contact with the Job Market

We prepare students for the professional world with Work Experience programs that give them a real taste of working life. Through short placements in companies or meetings with professionals at school, students gain valuable insights into the workplace, develop practical skills, and see how their knowledge applies in real-world scenarios.

University and Career Guidance

Our Guidance Department supports students in choosing their academic and professional futures by providing up-to-date information on higher education options, scholarships, and admission requirements. We organize university visits, education fairs, and workshops to help students explore their options in depth. This guidance ensures a safe and informed transition to university life and provides strong support through each phase of this critical stage.

Each year, our students attain a high pass rate and exceptional scores, thanks to strong preparation and the joint efforts of students and teachers. These results are a clear reflection of an educational model focused on holistic training and continuous support.
