Academia Igualada is a private, secular educational
institution assisted by the Government of Catalonia
We are
It was in 1939 when the city of Igualada placed its founder, Antoni Jorba i Soler, in charge of leading a centre dedicated to education.
For more than seventy five years, Academia Igualada has grown and developed along with the pace of society, but has always remained loyal to its ethos and to the school’s project: a living school, close to families, welcoming, whose aim is the academic studies and education of students in the values of responsibility, the determination to succeed, coexistence, tolerance and respect.
A
At Academia Igualada we take into account that each child is unique and, therefore, we offer them a range of opportunities and strategies to grow as a person and to enjoy the pleasure of learning.
We want our children to be emotionally confident people, who think and act independently, that have the right tools to be capable in the future and to communicate, research, create, reflect, think and that make a commitment to society based on the values they have developed.
What parents say about us
