We asked

about the long history of the school: "The history of JOYFE is a milestone that can only be achieved thanks to the work, talent and enthusiasm of great professionals who, since its inception in 1961, have dedicated their lives to build

.

JOYFE was born on the ground floor of a building on Emilio Ferrari street.

The success of the school was based on countless hours of work and many classes, both day and night, as well as a good dose of enthusiasm.

But a large dose of entrepreneurial ability was also necessary.

As the roots of JOYFE grew, new facilities were acquired to accommodate the great demand of families who were aware of its educational offer.

In the eighties, the project was consolidated with the purchase of the San Luis Gonzaga school, on Vital Aza street, which is today our headquarters.

From then on, the school management, together with a great team of professionals, lead the change and methodological transformation, based on research and the implementation of new educational proposals.

Over the years, and thanks to experience and the desire to improve, JOYFE has become a benchmark in the education sector, proving its worth.

In 2020, we became part of the IEP Group, one of the most powerful educational groups at an international level that comes to give our project even more entity.

Teachers who leave a mark

The Excellence of the Faculty of Teachers is the most valuable educational "resource" of JOYFE

.

We do not say it, the former students of the school say it and the current ones and their families live it: JOYFE teachers are the ones who leave their mark.

His humanity, his closeness and vocation are one of the pillars of the excellence of the school.

Every day the faculty demonstrates that they are personally and competently prepared to respond to the needs that their profession requires in the face of a changing, uncertain and complex world.

They are teachers who are in continuous training, accustomed to classroom observation for their improvement, and who always focus on the academic and personal needs of each of their students, ensuring that they develop in a positive, safe and happy environment. .

.

His know-how and vocation ensure that students turn learning into a playful and challenging process, where the important thing is always the process of learning and living new experiences.

But this does not mean that they make it easy for them, speaking with many Baccalaureate students they have told us that both their knowledge and their demands are those of "university professors".

The commitment of JOYFE teachers

goes beyond the classroom.

These teachers accompany the students even outside of their working hours, proposing and leading them by the hand to live

.

Each year they pose enriching challenges to their students such as participation in academic Olympiads, MUN debates organized in different Universities, extracurricular activities, events, competitions outside the school, whether they are prizes for philosophical essays or challenging projects such as the project organized by NASA, the creation of the Solidarity Students group or the Science Fair among many others that take place every year.

Thanks to their dedication and experiences outside the school environment, students develop 'real' personal and academic skills that will make them even more prepared to face life outside of school in the 'real' world.

JOYFE relies on technology to "revolutionize education".

JOYFE educational excellence has as its pillars a technological DNA that, together with active educational methodologies, has facilitated the transition to a

This JOYFE course has achieved a great educational and technological challenge:

.

In this way, JOYFE becomes part of the prestigious global network of Google Reference Schools, with the endorsement of Google, one of the most important technology companies in the world.

This certification means reaching the highest level in terms of digitally competent educational institution.

In their classrooms, from the smallest of 2 years to the higher courses of Baccalaureate and Vocational Training, they use Google technology and tools in their educational activity and in pedagogical planning, always promoting the digital well-being of their students.

In this process, the technological preparation of the teaching staff has been very important, as they have demonstrated their great involvement in offering an education that meets the highest quality standards, the figures of the center's technological coaches who accompany teachers and students in their technological evolution, and of course the families that have participated in the digitization of the center.

Currently, 82% of the JOYFE team has been trained to obtain Google level 1, 24 of them already have Google level 2 and 2 teachers are Google Trainers.

Values ​​and emotional well-being

We can say that there is a common profile between the JOYFE faculty and students when facing a complex and changing society.

JOYFE offers an education through active educational methodologies in which the base goes beyond the academic and competence development of each of the subjects.

Everything is designed so that

that allows them to analyze their environment and respond to the challenges they face as individuals and as social agents.

The educational tools offered by the JOYFE project are always based on the

, since positive emotions are key for proper personal and skill development.

We find ourselves with an educational project and a faculty that transmit values ​​such as responsibility, vision of the future, the importance of communication, individual and collective management capacity, creativity, empathy, emotional intelligence, resilience, solidarity, leadership skills, etc.

The most important thing is that this education in values ​​is transmitted by instilling a strong optimism and motivation in the students that allows them to have a resolute attitude before any personal or professional.

But how has JOYFE managed to be a reference school in our educational sector during these 60 years?

Thanks to his

The educational project is consistent across the board with the needs set by society at all times.

Its great success is based on the

in constant search for new educational methodologies that allow it to offer a modern education that is consistent with the needs of its students.

Many schools look at the JOYFE model.

For example, they were pioneers in the classroom implementation of active methodologies based on cooperative learning, which we see today in other schools.

The careful approach to transitions and new methodological additions to the project has led the school to offer an education that meets the highest quality standards.

The academic and personal results of their students endorse them as they obtain the highest grades when taking not only tests such as the EVAU with

As one of their latest additions to the project and in which they are again pioneers is the participation of their students from 6th grade on in

This opportunity offers JOYFE students the development of knowledge, skills and competencies necessary in a constantly changing, multicultural and digital society.

His motivation is that the student has the opportunity to develop and strengthen skills that he can then apply both in his professional and personal life.
