El Carme

El Carme is a semi-private school accredited by the Generalitat de Catalunya located in Lleida. Its educational project, inspired by Christian values, promotes personalized support, commitment to others, and the construction of a more just, supportive, and humane society. The history of the center began over 85 years ago, and its pedagogy is based on the educational principles of Teresa Toda and Teresa Guasch. Its mission is to accompany children and young people in their growth so that they become committed, responsible individuals capable of contributing to the improvement and transformation of society. During the 25-26 school year, the center adopts the motto "Compartim el que som".

The educational offer ranges from nursery to 4th year of ESO: first cycle of early childhood education (0-3), second cycle of early childhood education (3-6), primary education (6-12), and compulsory secondary education (12-16). The primary stage is organized by cycles (first, second, and third), while secondary education focuses on the transition to adolescence, prioritizing listening and support to foster the emotional stability of students. Teaching emphasizes the personal dimension of students, their critical spirit, and their ability to overcome challenges, and is structured around four axes: being, knowing, connecting, and advancing.

The center holds Erasmus+ accreditation, a distinction that reaffirms its commitment to internationalization, educational quality, and mobility opportunities for students and teachers, and integrates a strategic Erasmus plan. In the early childhood education stage, methodologies and resources such as cooperative work, sensory boxes, mini worlds, and corners are combined; project-based work is implemented, reading and writing are approached as a means of communicating experiences, and the mathematical field is addressed through multiple intelligences and material manipulation. Workshops, in small groups, enhance creativity and autonomous learning. The center believes in joint education with families and offers personalized visits throughout the year for those who wish to learn more about it.
