Las Culturas School is placed in an residential area in the outskirts of the city, very close to a salt lake. It is surrounded by two urbanisations absolutely different: -We have families of a medium social level, most of them retired people from nothern countries, but we also have families from Morocco, South America countries and other places, families that have less economical resources. Nevertheless, although most of the children are from that area, we have four buses (that is 216 pupils) that come from other locations of the city, with a medium-high social level. So we can say there is a mixture of social circumstances, people with no economical problems, whose parents are doctors, teachers at university/ high schools/ schools, doctors, nurses, business owners...

and others in hands of social services (around 10-15 families). School facilities: In the year 2006 we occupied the building of school (years before we were in pre-built classrooms). The school has got four big playgrounds depend on the age of our children. We have at the moment more or less 700 students from 3 years old until 12 years.

During the last two years our school is implementing new measures as using free plastic containers for food, doing activities with reused materials, self awareness and conciousness among our students about taking care of the environment through the movement “FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE” in order to progressively develop the concept of “Ecoschool” in the educative community. Our school has an Erasmus + team made of 11 teachers, 3 of them are members of the direction board. Every year at the beginning of the school year we make a new team. Our school has take part in three Erasmus +projects: MADD (we had European Etwinning Quality Label) HAPPY and FEI.
