This school is located in Ortuella, the heart of the mining area of Vizcaya. Despite the surrounding industrial landscape, we still enjoy natural and rural enviroments. The school is caressed by the Bay of Biscay, its ocean, beautiful beaches and picturesque landscape. Our school belongs to the Diocese and our aim is to help our students to achive self-fulfillment through service to society in an academic atmosphere.

PLANS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE

On the one hand we would like all our students to be able to receive classes in the Basque language (so, to fulfill that aim the school follows the Linguistic Normalization plan of the Basque Government). Actually 97 % of us are allow to give lessons in this language.

Other aim is to educate in good ethical values for peace an solidarity through the religious clases programme, taking part in the Diocese project an colaborating with non gubernamental organizations such as Caritas, Proyecto Hombre or Intermom.

In what respects to enviromental education we do outings to learn about enviroment and how to protect it.

On the other hand, we take part in European projects through Comenius programme.
