Опис на организацијата

Federico Garcia Sanchiz School is a state primary school set in Alzira (East Coast of Spain), 30 kilometres from Valencia, in an urban setting. Our town has a population of 45.000 and it is the capital of the region of Ribera Alta and it is well connected via train or bus with the capital city of our region. Alzira is a dynamic city and offers different cultural and sport activities that are organized by our public authorities and other organizations. We are 250 pupils aged 3- 12 and a 20 teaching staff (including the head teacher who is a teacher too).
The teaching – learning process is developed through the medium of our regional language called “Valencià” which is different from Spanish. English and Spanish languages are introduced to our pupils from 3 years of age, being two important pieces of our Curriculum. Although our school has more than 35 years of history, we moved to a new building in 2012. Our new facilities and educational equipment are set in one of the most quiet and privileged areas in the town near two of our natural protected areas.
There are some volunteers (individuals and organizations) as well as members of our educational community that collaborate with us to develop our main key actions centred in: new technologies, ecology, inclusion, healthy life and European/ World citizenship. We underline the great value of the Parents’ Association that designs and develops activities both for parents and students that are carried out every day after school. Parents and volunteers help us to develop activities like: green walk to school, reading clubs, craft clubs, project workshops, school garden, service-learning programmes, theatre, etc.
