Colegio Gondomar

Gondomar is in general terms a good school where my children spent 5 years. Overall it is a good center with a single line and a fairly good core team of teachers. The treatment is very personalized, especially with the kids who are doing worse, who help a lot to get the courses forward. The impression given after passing through there is that it is a center that experienced its happiest moments in the 2000s, a period during which the professional team was more motivated by the project that the center involved, there were expectations of improvement and the economic situation was more buoyant in the area. With the latest crises, the decrease in income and the appearance of other competitive centers in that area gives the impression that the center has entered a process of progressive decline from which it is difficult to get out and that is noted in different aspects, one is clearly the provision of infrastructures, far below what can be expected from a private center; Another is the asymmetry in the quality of the teaching staff where the new is very far in the quality of the nuclear team, they live very up to date and there does not seem to be a strategy where to advance beyond saving years, the level of English should be very superior and the use of technology is minimal, I missed more personalized support for children who are doing well and who can do better. It is overall a pretty good school with some drawbacks.

It is a private school with which we are very happy. They try to help children acquire more than knowledge. They maintain the wake of the free teaching institution. They promote humanism by giving importance to the arts, philosophy, debate and reading. In times as difficult as today, they are demonstrating their work with Covid protocols before other schools and negotiating with the education inspectorate to ensure that teaching can continue as closely as before. Advantages of few students per class. Very reasonable student / class ratios.

It is a great school, magnificent teachers and a particular and excellent teaching.
