SECONDARY SCHOOL IN ASTURIAS

Welcome to Palacio de Granda. At our school, we understand that choosing the right secondary school is a crucial decision for your child’s academic, personal, and social development. During this stage, adolescents begin to define their identity, establish study habits, and face new intellectual and emotional challenges. That’s why the ideal school is not just one that offers quality education, but one that supports each student holistically throughout their growth process.

At Palacio de Granda, we combine academic rigor with personalized attention, offering learning paths tailored to each student’s pace and learning style. Our qualified, approachable, and dedicated teaching staff not only deliver content but also inspire and motivate.

Furthermore, it is essential to foster a safe, respectful, and stimulating environment where adolescents can express themselves, take on responsibilities, and build healthy relationships. Emotional support and values education are just as important as academic subjects.

Another distinctive feature of our school is our ability to prepare students for a constantly changing world. Languages, critical thinking, digital skills, and teamwork are integral to daily classroom life. It is equally important to encourage curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong desire to learn beyond the classroom.

Over the years, we have built a strong educational community, with open channels of communication between families and the school. This reinforces trust and consistency in young people’s education.

Reinforcement of Multilingualism in ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education)

At our school, promoting multilingualism and intercultural competence is a priority. We include an additional hour of English in the curriculum, strengthening communication skills and providing solid preparation for official Cambridge exams, for which we are an accredited examination center. We also offer French and German as optional subjects, expanding our students’ linguistic opportunities.

For students who join with limited proficiency in English or Spanish, we offer language induction programs to ensure progressive and effective integration.

Additionally, we participate in international programs (ILOS), which give our students the opportunity to engage in virtual exchanges, conferences, and academic competitions with schools around the world, as well as training stays abroad—enriching their educational experience with a global perspective.

Academic and Career Guidance

Our commitment to the comprehensive development of each student is reflected in the coordinated work of teachers, tutors, and the guidance team, including the school psychologist. This team works closely to detect learning difficulties early and to identify individual learning styles and rhythms. Based on this information, we design and implement the necessary methodological adaptations so that all students can progress and reach their full potential. We also teach personalized study techniques to help students stay organized, become more autonomous, and face academic challenges with greater confidence and effectiveness.

Throughout Secondary Education, we offer personalized academic and career guidance to help each student make informed decisions about their future. We support them in selecting optional subjects that align with their interests, abilities, and potential, and guide them in choosing the Baccalaureate track that best suits their profile.

This process is enriched through talks, workshops, and activities organized in collaboration with companies, professionals, and alumni. These opportunities allow students to explore various academic and career paths firsthand. We also work closely with the Guidance Department and its specialized programs to help students build a strong and coherent professional profile aligned with their aspirations and talents from an early stage.

We Prioritize Our Students’ Well-being

Our students’ emotional and social well-being is very important to us. That’s why we have specific protocols for bullying prevention, mediation programs, and values-based education that promote empathy, respect, and positive coexistence. We encourage cooperative work in the classroom and organize bonding trips that strengthen peer relationships and a sense of belonging.

We also ensure that informal school spaces—like playgrounds and dining halls—are positive and safe, through active supervision. We maintain open and ongoing communication with families to identify and address any needs together.

All of this is part of a comprehensive well-being protocol designed to support every student in their personal, emotional, and social development.

Workshops and Extracurricular Activities

Complementing formal education with extracurricular activities is fundamental for the integral development of students. At Palacio de Granda, we offer a wide variety of workshops and extracurricular activities covering areas such as sports, art, music, theatre and technology. These activities not only enrich the students’ educational experience, but also foster social skills, teamwork and leadership.

Our aim is to provide a stimulating environment where students can explore new interests and develop talents outside the classroom.
