Over the past year, the Roberto Rocca Technical School carried out a building redesign project inspired by High Tech-High school in California and schools in Barcelona, Spain. This redesign sought to place students at the center of the learning process, encouraging autonomy and independence. Regarding the teaching methodology, the school embraces project-based learning (PBL) and employs innovative teaching methods that integrate multiple subjects, helping students learn in a more interconnected way.
As a result of its innovative approach, students achieve up to 44% higher grades in mathematics compared to students in other schools. Additionally, their reading comprehension skills have shown significant growth, with up to a 37% improvement. Committed to fostering a more equitable society, the Roberto Rocca Technical School offers a scholarship system that guarantees admission based on effort, dedication, commitment, and merit, regardless of the socioeconomic background of the family.
