The EIC strives for educational excellence

The Sòcrates Educa model is structured around four main pillars:

1. Internationalisation

• All students are fluent in English, Catalan and Spanish when they graduate.

• The learning of a fourth foreign language (either Asian or European) is actively encouraged.

• The academy is strongly engaged in exchange programmes (for both students and teachers) with other schools across the globe.

2. Mastering technology skills

• An efficient, permanent and innovative use of emerging technologies is a cornerstone of the EIC academy.

• Not only as an end in itself, but also as an instrument of:- learning- relating to other students, teachers, family

members and the wider community.

3. Commitment to the community

• The EIC academy runs the ‘Service-learning’ programme, an educational community initiative, which promotes: - Learning and personal development.- Helping the wider community.

• Apart from receiving a high-quality education, students participate in several voluntary activities, which: - Enrich their learning.- Contribute to the well-being of the community.

• Through such a scheme, the EIC academy promotes a social conscience, strong work ethic and generosity towards others.

4. Sustainability

• The values of sustainability and respect for the environment are fundamental to the EIC academy, ranging from the way its buildings are built, to its day-to-day activities: - Through the use of several green energy

initiatives, including solar panels and rainwater harvesting.

- Taking a strong sustainability stance allows the EIC academy to promote an educational approach based on self-restraint and responsible consumerism.
