Escola Milà I Fontanals

Escola Milà i Fontanals is a public center located in Barcelona, in the Ciutat Vella district. It provides early childhood education, with initial, intermediate, and advanced levels, as well as primary education. The working languages are Catalan and Spanish. The center has a school cafeteria service and projects in which families participate.

Throughout the school year, various activities and projects are developed. All third-grade students participate in the "Ja sé llegir" project, aimed at improving reading skills, which concludes with a closing ceremony and a shared reading with families. Chess is part of the activity framed within the Pla Català de l'Esport a l'Escola, which concludes with an end-of-year tournament in which sixth-grade students participate. The center also works on computational thinking and robotics through a day where children solve language, math, and knowledge challenges alongside students from other schools in Ciutat Vella. In the upper cycle, 3D printing is introduced, with the preparation of the first designs, and the use of the laser cutter. Fourth-grade students conduct experiments on the states of matter and their changes.

Among the center's activities is the exchange with students from the Miquel Tarradell Institute, who visit the I4 children, and the participation of third grades A and B in the Gran Ballada de Sardanes at the Cathedral of Barcelona, organized by the "País a l'Escola" association. Sixth-grade students take part in the Barcelona School Architecture Program: Heritage and Pedagogical Innovation, promoted by the Barcelona Education Consortium. The center also develops artistic projects, including the MUS-E Program, and publishes a school magazine called Endavant.
