Our school
San José Tablas is a public primary school in the centre of Granada, also offering early childhood education, where children grow into free, engaged, and happy individuals.
Our educational approach centres on personalised attention, active learning, and living together in diversity.
Here, every student counts, every family matters, and every day is an opportunity to discover the world.
Ours is a school for learning to live, a school that feels like one big family.
“Transform those old classrooms! Teach them how to live, not merely how to think and study”
— Francisco Giner de los Ríos, the father of modern Spanish education, whose vision was shaped in this very city of Granada

“Stories and children do not take our time away, they give it back to us. They give back to us the geological time needed by mountains to form, children to grow, one’s attention to find its focus, hands to provide care, language to preserve its richness, bodies to acknowledge one another, and intelligence and imagination to take an interest in a specific object or human being”
— Santiago Alba Rico, contemporary Spanish philosopher who has defended the importance of time, attention and care in education

“How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?”
— Henry David Thoreau, American philosopher who championed learning through direct experience and nature
“We are not educated when we have acquired certain skills, but when our relationship with the world, with others, and with things resonates, that is, when it is relevant, when it comes alive, when it touches us, and when we are capable of being moved by what we read, what we see, and what we do”
Joan-Carles Mèlich, philosopher of education, and recipient of Spain’s prestigious National Essay Prize for his book viewing education as an emotional bridge to the world
