About school

 Joan Salvat Papasseit is a state secondary school located in the seaside neighbourhood La Barceloneta, in Barcelona. It used to be a fishermen’s

neighbourhood built in the XVIII century. Nowadays, it attracts many tourists due to its sandy beach and its many beach bars and restaurants.

In La Barceloneta there used to be a factory called La Maquinista, which belonged to a maritime company and which constructed all types of engines for ships. The factory closed and the building became a secondary school in 1979.

Our school has about 30 teachers and 200 students with many different social and cultural backgrounds. We offer general secondary education and higher secondary education. Thus, our students are between 12 and 18 years old.

The facilities include two laboratories, two computers’ rooms, a music room, an arts room, a workshop, a gym and a vegetable patch.

 Apart from the general subjects, our students are offered a wide range of extra-curricular activities according to their likes and abilities: sports, drama, lab, gardening, etc.
