No PTA. Occasionally parents are invited to participate in school trips and sporting activities

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

If your child is bright and can keep up with the trilingual and musical requirements then consider this school. If not then it will disappoint. Children who do not keep up in music are dumped from the course, those who cannot speak Catalan well will not manage science either as this is taught in Catalan. The school professes to develop all children to their highest potential - do not believe the hype - slower children are not welcome and their is no real help for them, in spite of what they say. Finally - check the invoices - they systematically overcharge.
