At Palacio de Granda, our bilingual school in Gijón, we provide high-quality education in a bilingual and multicultural environment.

Every day, we work to continue improving our educational offer. Palacio de Granda is a reference point for education in Asturias for several reasons.
At our bilingual school in Gijón, we understand the importance of language immersion from the earliest years. Students learn in a bilingual environment from the beginning of their school journey, helping them acquire English in a natural and fluent way. This methodology supports language development while also enriching students’ cognitive, social and cultural growth. We encourage interactive learning, where children communicate, play and learn in English as part of their everyday school experience.
As part of our commitment to high-quality education, we prepare students for official English and language certifications. Students are supported in preparing for exams from recognised institutions, receiving comprehensive training that covers both language proficiency and exam preparation.
Our team includes native-speaking teachers who bring their expertise and experience to the classroom. Direct interaction with native speakers helps students develop more authentic pronunciation and a deeper understanding of the language. We also use innovative methodologies, including educational technology, interactive activities and a strong focus on communication skills.
