International School Costa Brava (ISCB) is proud to highlight its School Farm—a calm, hands-on learning space where pupils regularly care for and observe rabbits, hens, tortoises and ducks, and nurture seasonal plants. The farm is woven into daily learning to promote wellbeing, responsibility and environmental awareness.
“At the farm, children slow down, notice, and care,” said the Head of School. “Feeding the hens, gently observing a tortoise, or collecting duck feathers turns curiosity into empathy and science into lived experience.”
Key benefits for pupils
- Wellbeing & focus: time outdoors reduces stress and improves attention.
- Empathy & responsibility: caring for animals builds kindness, routine and respect.
- Real-world science (STEM): lifecycles, habitats and measurement become tangible.
- Language & communication: rich, sensory experiences expand vocabulary and storytelling.
- Sustainability habits: composting, water care and seasonal cycles foster eco-literacy.
At International School Costa Brava, learning extends beyond the classroom and into the heart of our School Farm—where curiosity becomes care, and knowledge becomes action.
