Extracurricular Activities

The goal of this activity is to strengthen students' English skills and help them naturally and enjoyably overcome language barriers.

The program includes:

• In-person classes held at the school facilities.
• Groups organized by age ranges, with a minimum of 8 students per group.
• Quarterly objectives sent to families for each course.
• Course progress tracked with quarterly reports for each student.
• Additional monitor, besides the teacher, for preschool groups.

We are continuing this activity for the third consecutive year with one of Barcelona's leading companies in technology and robotics education, adapting to the latest innovations in the field.

Students are at the center of their own learning, constantly challenged to solve different problems creatively and collaboratively using new technologies. This hands-on learning approach involves creation and trial-and-error, combining mechanics with programming. Working with their hands stimulates creativity, while programming develops analytical and logical-mathematical thinking.

Activities and projects are developed based on the LEGO Education methodology, allowing students to learn concepts in a fun and interdisciplinary way.

Two groups (adaptable by level): Robotics for i3-i5 and 1st-2nd grade (Monday), and Robotics for 3rd-6th grade (Tuesday). Minimum of 8 students per group.

Another year, Ateneu and Basketball Club SJD are offering this activity at the school. Its goal is to educate boys and girls on the values of team sports: camaraderie, respect, and individual effort for the group.

This local club has been training basketball players since 1988, focusing on both technical and tactical skills, always applying teaching methodologies that help children understand and enjoy the sport.

This activity takes place twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) and includes participation in tournaments or friendly matches. It is aimed at students from i4 to 6th grade.
