HORIZON 2020

• We look at the future with optimism; this has driven us to undertake a reflective process that the entire Jesuïtes Educació community can participate in. Our aim is to establish the horizons, processes and actions that will help us take clear steps towards a profound change in the learning and teaching process in Jesuïtes Educació schools. We aim to transform education.

• The objective of HORIZON 2020 is to create a new kind of school together. We want this new school to continuously incorporate new discoveries in pedagogy, psychology and neuroscience, in order to effectively educate in the 21st century and beyond. We want a new physical space, a new, more flexible organization and a new style of administration. We want to create well-rounded, competent, conscious, compassionate and committed individuals.

• For all of these reasons, we’ve created HORIZON 2020, which we hope will instigate a profound change in our schools.

• Though we’re following a common ideal, each one of us is also seeking to follow his own personal dreams, vocations and life projects. Let’s start building a dream together!
