Personal and academic skills for the 21st century
We provide students with resources that enable them to gain autonomy and freedom to shape their personal, life and professional projects.

How do we implement our Horitzó+ educational project?
In a welcoming and demanding environment, we want to awaken a taste for knowledge and culture in our students; help them to mature in their affective nature and in their sensitivity towards others, the environment and society so that they become competent, participative and caring people.
We offer diversified curricula which, based on a wider range of optional subjects, allow us to customise the learning pathways and respond to the interests of the pupils. In all the Upper Secondary disciplines: Arts, Science and Technology, Social Sciences and Humanities.
