Extracurricular Activities

The goal of this activity is to strengthen students' English skills and help them naturally and enjoyably overcome language barriers.

The program includes:

• In-person classes held at the school facilities.
• Groups organized by age ranges.
• Quarterly objectives sent to families for each course.
• Course progress tracked with quarterly reports for each student.
• Additional monitor, besides the teacher, for preschool groups.

New: we are extending English to Secondary students (official exam preparation), adults (small groups), and school staff, with flexible scheduling.

We are continuing this activity for the fourth consecutive year with one of Barcelona's leading companies in technology and robotics education, adapting to the latest innovations in the field.

Students are at the center of their own learning, constantly challenged to solve different problems creatively and collaboratively using new technologies. This hands-on learning approach involves creation and trial-and-error, combining mechanics with programming. Working with their hands stimulates creativity, while programming develops analytical and logical-mathematical thinking.

Activities and projects are developed based on the LEGO Education methodology, allowing students to learn concepts in a fun and interdisciplinary way.

Another year, Ateneu and Basketball Club SJD are offering this activity at the school. Its goal is to educate boys and girls on the values of team sports: camaraderie, respect towards teammates, and individual effort for the group.

This local club has been training basketball players since 1988, focusing on both technical and tactical skills, always applying teaching methodologies that help children understand and enjoy the sport. Thanks to Basketball Club SJD, the activity includes Ateneu's participation in tournaments or friendly matches.

For the fourth consecutive year, Ateneu and Sant Joan Despí Futsal Club are offering this activity at the school. Through futsal, we reinforce positive values such as respect, camaraderie, and teamwork.

The SJD Futsal Club is an organization with over 15 years of experience, featuring both male and female sections with more than 200 athletes and 25 certified coaches. It is a comprehensive sports and training project for boys and girls aged 5 and up. Throughout the year, thanks to SJD Futsal Club, several friendly matches are held against teams from other schools in our area.

Do you enjoy skating? Want to skate with your friends? Now is your chance.

Ateneu is offering inline skating for the third year through Ungravity Board, a sports services company established in 2004, specializing in new sports activities that complement extracurricular offerings at educational centers.

With a team of specialized instructors, the program focuses on:

• Progressive teaching tailored to the group’s ages.
• Having fun and enjoying new experiences.
• Fostering self-improvement.
• Enhancing skills such as balance, strength, and concentration.
• Providing safety and autonomy to continue practicing outside school hours.
• Respecting equipment and peers.

Students must bring their own equipment. The use of safety gear (helmet, knee pads, etc.) is mandatory.

New this year! Tradition, respect, and personal growth take center stage.

In partnership with Taekwondo Estudio CHO1S, which has over 30 years of experience training students based on the values of traditional taekwondo, this new activity arrives at Ateneu.

We want to help children develop discipline, confidence, self-control, and respect, creating an environment where each student can progress at their own pace. A dobok (uniform) is required.

For years, the Ateneu 1882 Table Tennis Club has used our school as its training headquarters. This collaboration is now stronger than ever, with a new agreement that gives Ateneu students the same status as club players.

This activity offers weekly training sessions, a federation license, and competition opportunities, plus a free t-shirt! For any questions, reach out through our contact form.

At the Ateneu 1882 Table Tennis Club, you can practice and compete to raise your level. This activity is also available for adults!

For the youngest students at Ateneu, Move and Play returns for the third time: a multi-sport workshop offering a varied and dynamic experience for children who have not yet chosen a specific sport. It combines different disciplines, games, and activities.

This workshop aims to promote physical activity, teamwork, and the development of sports skills in a fun and educational way.

Who doesn’t love music? Who doesn’t love musical instruments?

This workshop, which has generated a lot of interest since it started two years ago, introduces children to the world of music through instruments and instrument-building. Students explore sounds and noises produced by everyday objects and discover their possibilities.

They learn to play small instruments and basic musical language concepts, focusing on rhythm and body movement while encouraging active participation.

Rhythm is back at Ateneu! Join... Drabatukats!

In partnership with Escola Tectum, we offer this percussion activity for Preschool and Primary students to develop rhythm and motor skills. The Drabatukats group has already been created, and now we want it to grow, gradually turning it into a self-managed team by using the different roles students can take on.

The group also takes part in various events around the city and the school, such as the parade of giants and big-heads, the end-of-year festival, and more.

Welcome to another year of our choreographic dance extracurricular class, for children from i4 to Secondary.

Students learn to express themselves through movement, dance to music, and create group choreographies. We promote teamwork, creativity, and confidence.

At the end of the course, families will enjoy a final performance showcasing the skills and style acquired. A year of freedom, fun, and learning through dance.

Curtain up: sing, dance, and perform at Ateneu!

Musical theatre is much more than an artistic activity: it's an experience that helps children and teenagers grow personally and emotionally. Through singing, dancing, and acting, students gain confidence, overcome stage fright and fear of public speaking, improve communication, express emotions, and learn to work as a team. After last year's success, Ateneu School Music is back!

This activity is designed for two groups (preference given to those enrolled last year). Discover your talent on stage and become part of Ateneu School Music!

Signing up for zumba classes is a great opportunity to improve your health and wellbeing. It combines aerobic exercise with dance, increasing your endurance, strength, and flexibility. It's also a great way to reduce stress thanks to its lively rhythm and upbeat atmosphere. Zumba classes are a chance to socialize and have fun while taking care of your health.

Plus, while your children enjoy their extracurricular activities, you can use the time to get in shape. Also open to Secondary and Baccalaureate students!
