The Basque Country

Laskorain Ikastola is located in Tolosa, in the centre of Gipuzkoa, in the Basque Country. Tolosa is a town of 19.000 inhabitants and our school is one of the most important in the area, with about 1.500 students.

Our youngest pupils are four months old, and they have the chance to study with us until they are 18, going through different educational stages: Nursery (0-2), HH (preschool 3-5), Primary (6-12), DBH (Compulsory Secondary School, 12-16), Batxilergo (High School, 16-18). In high school, students can choose one of these modalities: Technological, Health Sciences or Social and Human Sciences. There are 24 teachers and 221 students in High School, many of whom come from surrounding towns to finish their pre-university studies.

Laskorain Ikastola works according to the EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) Excellence Model. Our organization received recognition from The Basque Government when it was awarded with the silver Q in 2004 and the Golden Q in 2008 for its advanced management system.

Laskorain Ikastola belongs to Ikastolen Elkartea (Basque school association), a wide regional net of Basque schools which represents more than a hundred schools. We share teaching materials as well as good practices in all educational areas.
