General information
The new Epiqueia school is being built in Mediona, near by Barcelona.
It is a ground floor building, with a large outdoor area, among vineyards and with views of the nearby forests. A simple but well thought building located in a very beautiful environment.
The school already has the prior approval by the Department of Education for the infant, primary and secondary educational stages.
A rural school, small in size and organized in small learning communities, which will cover each level of education from 3 to 15 years old.
The project was born years ago from teachers and families with the guidance of the pedagogue Mar Esteve. It is rooted within a deep and hopeful vision for the development of each singular life, but also living in solidarity and in proximity among others in the community.
The project is supported by a highly prepared and committed pedagogical team, the involvement of families, the collaboration of “friends from Epiqueia”, and the support of institutions ... All this has made possible to get where we are now, despite many difficulties.
Now, a new building is necessary for the continuity and consolidation of a unique and renovating pedagogical proposal.
The framework that makes Epiqueia possible is the Epiqueia Foundation, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote educational, cultural and social experience.
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
The other activities that will be offered in the school building will be aimed at a wider range of people.
The School of Arts
As of the 2022-2023 academic year, Epiqueia will open the School of the Arts to everyone after school hours.
The School of the Arts will promote the experience of art through music, dance and theatre: an experience that enriches and fuels people's lives, and which is also a privileged space to create close relationships and encounters.
The School will support artistic vocations but above all, it will be a place for integral education and social cohesion.
There will be options for scholarships or grants, so that everyone can become a part of it.
Training courses and workshops
• We will offer training and reflection activities on pedagogy and education, in order to share and go in depth in our pedagogical knowledge.
• We will also offer other philosophical, artistic, scientific, social activities ... that are in tune with the spirit of Epiqueia.
Why this is important
The Epiqueia school is open to everyone, to all families who want to participate. Epiqueia is a school of social initiative that wants to be inclusive and plural.
The other activities that will be offered in the school building will be aimed at a wider range of people.

Epiqueia has a background of more than ten years. A background that is within the biography and experience of many people, but also shared in publications in education magazines, in conferences and seminars, and in a book: ESTEVE, M. Learning adventures. Vic: Eumo, 2019
The Epiqueia team is made up of eleven people with a solid personal and academic training. A team very committed to the adventure of a different school for a better education and a better world.
The dynamics, tenacity and joy of this team of teachers is what makes Epiqueia a school that generates a unique and valuable local experience, and at the same time a very specific pedagogical contribution which takes the form of a philosophy, itinerary, reflection and style that can be inspiring and guiding for other teachers and school contexts.
This team makes possible day by day, gesture by gesture, word by word:
The school where you think, where you act, where you create, where you speak, where you love. Here you can glimpse the school that passionately says Yes to life
