Why choose Agora Portals?
Infant Education and Primary | Ages 1 to 11
The Infant Education stage is the basis for all the educational process. It is the time when foundations are laid. During this stage, the children start their development and an early stimulation allows the brain cell connections to multiply.
Primary Education is more academic in nature than the Infant Education stage and the objectives and content of the different subjects in the school curriculum are worked on, as well as the essential values for a good personal development. At this stage, children strengthen their personality and master skills and knowledge relating to oral expression and comprehension, reading, writing and arithmetic. They also develop social skills, work and study habits, artistic sense, creativity and affectivity.
Secondary Education | Ages 11 to 16
Secondary Education is a stage where specialisation begins, in which special importance is given to artistic education, as well as the introduction to a second foreign language, with a choice between French and German.
We take into account the different needs of students at this age and their variety of interests when choosing their future. Taking into account the diversity of our pupils, we seek the personal development of each student, giving them individual attention according to their needs, aptitudes and preferences.
International Baccalaureate | Ages 16-18
Agora Portals International School has been offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) since 2011, a leading qualification in the field of international education which aims to train reflective and critical students, with an active and motivated attitude towards learning.
With the International Baccalaureate, students will be able to complete their entire pre-university stage at our school by finishing their studies with the highest international projection, which will allow them to access the most prestigious universities in Europe and beyond.
Spanish Baccalaureate | Ages 16-18
The Baccalaureate is focused on students' subsequent access to the university environment. At this stage, the aim is to achieve intellectual and personal maturity in order to face adult life with greater guarantees of success.
The school's objective at this stage is twofold: on the one hand, we offer pupils a high academic level, so that they obtain the best possible results in the University Entrance Exams (PAU) and, on the other hand, we train people capable of successfully facing the demanding level of university studies.
