l’AMPA (f) (Associació de Mares i Pares d’Alumnes) - Association of Students’ Mothers and Fathers

C.E.I.P (m) (Col·legi d’Educació Infantil i Primària) - Pre-school and Primary education school

In Spain, children start school at the age of 3, in a level called “Eduació infantil”, which lasts until you are 6, when you start “Educació primària” (primary school). Most children spend infantil (as we call it) and primària in the same school, which means that we spend 9 years in the same school. Primary school has 6 years, and every two years your teacher changes. You have the same teacher for every subject, except for PE and some other subjects which can be more specific.

At the age of 12, Spanish students start high school. If you went to a public primary school, that means that you will study secondary education in a different place. Private schools, though, tend to have all the years, so most students start there when they are 3 and leave at the age of 18. Uniforms are only used in private schools/high schools.

The first four years of high school are compulsory, and they’re known as ESO (literally “that”, in Spanish), or Educació Secundària Obligatòria (Compulsory Secondary Education). You finish at the age of 15/16.

Then, students can study el Batxillerat, Formació Professional or they can start working. El Batxillerat is divided into el Batxillerat de Ciències (Baccalaureate of Science), Batxillerat de Ciències Socials (Baccalaureate of Social sciences), Batxillerat Humanístic (Baccalaureate of Humanities) and Batxillerat Artístic (Baccalaureate of Arts). It lasts two years, and it is not compulsory. Afterwards, at the age of 18, students can take the national exam needed to go to university PAU (Proves d’Accés a la Universitat). FUN FACT: There’s a huge rivalry between students from el Batxillerat de Ciències and el Batxillerat Humanístic.

Formació Professional (FP) is another path students can take. It focuses more on practical stuff, rather than theory. Students can go to university once they finish 4 years (or two, if they have studied el Batxillerat before) of FP.

University lasts four years, except for some degrees, such as Medicine, which take longer.

Catalan is compulsory in the Spanish regions where it is official (Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and Valencia). In Catalonia, students take all the subjects in Catalan (except for Spanish, English, etc.), while in Valencia and the islands students can decide whether they want to study all the subjects in Catalan (except for Spanish, English, etc.) or if they want to study everything in Spanish (except for Catalan, English, etc.). In Andorra, Catalan is the only official language, so it is obviously taught. In France, though, the language is not official. However, students learn the language, but they cannot study other languages in Catalan. In France, there are private schools where everything is taught in Catalan, and the number of students is increasing. Interestingly enough, these students often speak French at home. In Italy the language is not taught, as well as in the Spanish regions where the language is spoken but it does not hold an official status.
