La Farga is a school for families rooted in Catholic values, where parents and educators work closely to ensure high academic standards and personal growth. In Early Years and Primary, we have become a Cambridge International School, striving for excellence in the national curriculum (Maths, Spanish, and Catalan) while offering students the opportunity to follow the British curriculum (in the future we expect to continue in secondary). This international vision continues through to Baccalaureate, where students can opt for the Dual Diploma. By combining a rigorous local foundation with global qualifications and a high level of English, we prepare our students to excel in a multicultural world, fostering both intellectual and human development.

1. High-Impact Pedagogical Foundation (Teach Like a Champion)
We utilize Explicit Instruction based on the Teach Like a Champion framework to ensure academic rigor. By implementing structured routines and high expectations, we maximize "time on task," creating a focused and efficient classroom environment where every student is challenged to reach their full potential.

2. Immersive Literacy & Oral Mastery (Phonics & Drama)
Our language project starts with a systematic Phonics approach to ensure precise decoding and pronunciation. This is further enhanced in Primary and Language subjects through Oral Expression and Drama, where students develop public speaking skills, confidence, and fluency. This performance-based approach ensures that students don't just "know" a language—they can command it.

3. Early Cognitive Environments (VESS & Espacios)
In Early Years, we combine the VESS model (Culture of Thinking) with "Espacios" (Learning Spaces). These specialized environments are designed to promote exploration, creativity, and autonomy. By moving through different "Espacios," children engage in purposeful play and discovery, making their thinking visible from the very start of their educational journey.

4. Collaborative & Active Learning (Cooperative & PBL)
Learning is an active, social process. Through Cooperative Learning, students work in structured teams to develop leadership and empathy. This is complemented by Project-Based Learning (PBL), where students apply their knowledge to solve real-world challenges, integrating the National Curriculum with international perspectives.

5. Advanced Cognition (Thinking Skills Techniques)
Across all stages, we integrate Thinking Skills Techniques to move beyond rote memorization. By using graphic organizers and analytical frameworks, we teach students how to process complex information, evaluate evidence, and become independent critical thinkers prepared for the demands of the 21st century.
