Situate in the urban part, many students are coming from socioeconomically disadvantaged background and small suburban areas.
Many teachers have been working here for many years and they need to deal with other realities, in Europe and in the world, to compare their methodological approach to teaching and renew their experiences of job and life.
Our school is involved in many cross-border activities, but a problem still exists, both for teachers and students: communication in a foreign language and computer skills.

The project activities are part of a more complex development plan of the School that aims to build a most modern educational plan, trying to meet needs of education, training and the labor market.
