Colegio Andolina is an Early Years and Primary school in Gijón, where children take an active role in their own learning, at their own pace and without pressure.
We are a non-profit cooperative run by families and officially recognised as being of social interest. Our school is private, coeducational and secular, and is officially authorised by the Education Department of the Principality of Asturias. We offer a strong academic foundation while giving children the freedom to explore and learn beyond it.
Our approach to education draws inspiration from Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf education: thoughtfully prepared environments, project-based learning, mixed-age groups and nature as our main classroom. We don't direct; we walk alongside them.
What guides us every day is ensuring that every child feels safe, seen and respected. That they learn because they are curious, not because they have boxes to tick. And that, when they leave Andolina, they know who they are and what truly matters to them.
If you're looking for a different approach to education for your child, we'd love to welcome you and show you what makes Andolina special.
