Fomento Language Courses in the USA Canada and Ireland

Last term, I was invited to attend a conference in Madrid, detailing the language courses available to our students. After being given a warm welcome, we were introduced to fellow colleagues from all over Spain. Myriam Medrano, José Luis Lillo and Ana Castillo informed us about the various aspects of being a coordinator for the Language Study Programmes in the USA, Canada and Ireland.

One of the host schools is the Willow Academy in Chicago. Click here to view the school website. If you would like more information for your daughter, please contact the coordinator at Peñalabra School.

New Preparation Courses for the University of Cambridge ESOL

This year has also seen an exciting new development in the school's English Language Programme: with the many changes taking place on the face of education within the EU and the Cambridge FCE level(B2 in the Common European Framework) now being a requisite for graduating from university, the English department at Peñalabra has taken up the challenge. A new programme is being designed and implemented, allowing our pupils to prepare and sit these examinations before graduating from Peñalabra.
We do hope this innovation will open more doors for our pupils as they progress through the school and on into higher education.

10th International Forum UNAV

Continuing on from last year's success, a group of 6th Formers from Peñalabra School successfully passed the first round and were invited to the University of Navarra to present their project titled: Searching for a Culture of Peace.The pupils excelled themselves in their oral presention to a panel of experts in the fields of politics, economy and philosophy.
Our pupils were also taken on a guided tour of the university campus and took part in numerous activities, including political debates, a concert from the UNAV choir, as well as taking part in a fun video of the occasion (see link below). A thoroughly enjoyable time was spent by all concerned. Our thanks go out to all the pupils and staff for their contributions and support in making this a highly rewarding event.
