Is there another school in Gràcia you can recommend?
Daniella: Are you aware of an Learnlife — an alternative school that opened in Barcelona for 3 years ago. They offer a state-of-the-art learning community that is the first in a worldwide network of learning hubs meant to accelerate change in existing education models through personal purpose-based based learning. It features a series of creative studios designed to inspire learners through evidence-driven best practices from innovative schools around the world. I was so impressed with the self-directed learning and the high achievement levels of the students here. If a family wants a more creative and innovative learning environment for their children, you may wish to recommend Learnlife to them. Check them out online. Regards, Gail
