Get to know the school
Welcome to La Salle Gràcia, an educational center founded more than 100 years ago, and located in the heart of the Gràcia district, in Barcelona. We are a dynamic and active school, with a close involvement with our neighborhood and our environment.
Our educational offer ranges from P3 to post-compulsory education: Baccalaureate and Higher Education Cycles.
Our educational project
It integrates the tradition of being a hundred-year-old school with pedagogical innovation. Our entire Educational Community works in the same line to give coherence to our proposal, with people who believe in a consolidated project but who at the same time keep it alive and constantly evolving.
La Salle Gràcia is part of the La Salle network of schools, a network with 25 centers in Catalonia and more than 1,000 centers worldwide, which is committed to an educational project based on an offer of Christian values at the service of a quality education that responds to the needs of today’s world.

Technological and practical learning
Our goal is to train people and prepare them to face the challenges of the future, and we do this from two sides: academically and personally. Academically, we equip our students with the knowledge and skills they will need for their incorporation as active agents in society. Learning foreign languages, robotics, technology, cooperative learning, emotional education and project work provide the basis and knowledge for new educational challenges. From the personal side, we attend to the needs of the students so that they become autonomous, responsible people, with a solid scale of values, committed to society and the world.
The school was founded in 1892, thanks to a grant from Dorotea de Chopieta. Initially, the school was located on Carrer de l’Església, and it wasn’t until later that it was moved to where we are now, in Plaça del Nord.
Our facilities
Continuous improve
The school has implemented a process management model, based on ISO 9001:2015, which seeks continuous improvement in the quality of education. La Salle Gràcia takes into account in its processes the legal requirements applicable in each of them and ensures their compliance. The Management considers quality to be an essential factor for the success of the center and understands that each member must be responsible for the function they perform. Therefore, our Quality Policy is in agreement with meeting the needs of students and the rest of the Educational Community, offering them quality education and services, seeking continuous improvement.
Through our Quality Policy, at La Salle Gràcia we want to provide society with a quality educational service, which allows students to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills within the framework of our Character.
To be a reference center in our context, where the concept of continuous improvement and the Lasallian pedagogical tradition are present in all actions and become a way of doing things together and in community.
- Continuously improve the effectiveness and efficiency of activities and services.
- Guarantee the trust and satisfaction of the client (team, students, families, environment and municipality and society in general) so our Center will try to meet their expectations now and in the future.
The implementation and maintenance of our Quality Management System includes as references:
- The personal dimension of the student, which implies the satisfaction of their educational needs from Christian values.
- The family dimension, which involves a relationship of trust between the family and the Centre, in order to guarantee the quality of the educational service that their sons and daughters receive.
- The professional dimension, which makes necessary the satisfaction of the Teaching Team and the Administration and Services Staff.
- The social dimension, which requires students to be equipped with skills, abilities and values in order to integrate into society.
- The technical dimension, which seeks the fulfillment and updating of the quality objectives and the requirements established by the Educational Administration.
- The economic-financial dimension, which involves the Management’s commitment to manage the Center’s resources in order to provide the necessary infrastructure to achieve the quality objectives.
The Management of the Center undertakes to communicate the Quality Policy to the entire Educational Community. This will be available to all members on the school website and the document database for internal use will be kept as documented information.
The Center’s Quality Policy is reviewed in order to adapt it to the changes that occur in society continuously. The entire Educational Community accepts this challenge and assumes the responsibility of actively participating in the development and improvement of quality at the Centre, revising, when necessary, the objectives set in order to fulfill our Mission.

Lifelong learning is enriching; overcoming new challenges motivates us and makes us feel personally satisfied. Many people for various reasons stopped studying to devote themselves to other tasks. The Circle is designed to cover these needs in those people who at the time could not study or want to continue training.
Adult education offers a substantial contribution to personal development, social inclusion, active citizenship and much more.
Cercle La Salle is an association recognized and approved by the Generalitat de Catalunya as an adult training centre.
