We are a second opportunity school, so our students are ALL somehow “disadvantaged”

The Department of Guidance and Counselling is a key stone when dealing with disadvantaged students.

-The school counselor meets the needs of the students and helps them with three main domains:

-Academic development: getting sure they´re fit in the right course, subject…-Career development-Personal/social development: when the student´s behaviour , background, etc is interfering with his/her achievement

Many students start at our school and they never finish mainly because they find difficulty in acquiring the aims of the curriculum. To avoid this, we offer

-Extra support lessons-Remedial classes-Literacy and Pre-secondary Education Courses

for students with risk factors for dropout.
