Interesting features of the school

Brief history

La Sínia has a very recent history. It was opened in September 2004 in two prefabricated modules, with two groups of P3 and only four teachers. A year later a group of P5 joined. For the 2007-2008 school year ended the period of the provisional modules and the school was moved to the final building. During the 2009-2010 school year the Sports Centre was completed. 

It was in the 2011-2012 academic year when the first class of sixth grade came out of the school.

Methodology

Teachers of La Sínia usually teach contents of the curriculum but in a different way. These concepts are introduced by conducting small research work or projects, so teachers propose topics that children are nearby. This fact helps to keep students motivated and to have a point to start searching for information. The projects can come out from the interest of the children or they are proposed by adults. There are other projects which are common in the school, such as the Town Festival, Carnival Theme Week or the work of the mountain, in which each level of learning explores one aspect of each theme and works the same subject from a different perspective.

In addition, in this school it is believed that all children build their identity from himself and others as examples. Teachers guide the whole educational process avoiding uniformity and enhancing personal development, and always bearing in mind that every child has the potential to grow and progress. In this sense, moving towards an inclusive school and consider promoting the talent of our students. In order to work in this way there are time slots when pupils can work in small group or with the whole classroom but being helped by two teachers.

Finally, and regarding on English aspects, I would like to add that the school has developed an innovative educational project in foreign languages. This project ​​has enabled the introduction of English in early childhood education and development of proposals for integrated learning languages ​​in Primary education.
