Laude The Lady Elizabeth School

LAUDE Palacio de Granda completes its educational offer with a modern residence.

It offers a homely environment based on comprehension and help and always trying to find immediate solutions to the students’ doubts and problems. All this contributes in creating a pleasant studious atmosphere.

This boarding school has a capacity for up to 80 students. It is divided in two floors,, one for boys and the other one for girls. The rooms have place for up to four students each, and they are allocated according to their age but also taking into account the affinity and friendship among them.

The building is situated within the school grounds so that boarders have access to all the school facilities. Thus, in their free time, they may go to the sports centre, the sports fields, the swimming pools, the computer room, the information technology room, the language lab, the music room,…

Staff

Two coordinators are in charge of contacting the boarders families and informing them of the students´ personal and academic evolution. These coordinators are also in contact with the school and residence teachers so that the school work and homework are perfectly coordinated.

• Personal Tutors: These are specialised teachers who act as tutors for the students and also supervise their daily homework.
• Teachers: one female teacher on the girls floor and one male teacher on the boys floor.They will sleep in the boy’s rooms and they will be ready to solve any problems that could happen in the meantime.
• The custodian teacher: a person will be awake the whole night in order to ensure the students’ well-being and comfort.  

The school timetable is from 9.00 to 16.50, and the resident students will join their classmates following the school’s programme. Once the school day is over, the students will have some spare time until 18.00. At that time, a study period and some personalized lessons will start until 20.30. During those lessons, the students will be able to do their homework with the help of some monitors.

At 21.30, after dinner time, a monitored study time will be available for them to finish any incomplete tasks. Those resident students who didn’t achieve the required aims will also attend it.

Services

There are two resident categories:

• Weekly residents that are hosted from Monday to Friday.
• Monthly residents who spend the weekend at the residence.

If a weekly resident student wants to stay for a weekend, it must be communicated in advance.

The residence has laundry service.

The ordinary school transport can be used by resident students, including Friday afternoon and Monday morning.

The residence of LAUDE Palacio de Granda accepts the responsibility concerning the education of our students, although we will never be able to fulfil the role of the family in the learning process. For that reason, we trust and ask for the parents’ cooperation, since working together the desired results will be accomplished.
