Txomin Aresti is one of the five schools in the municipality of Leioa, whose location can be found in Iparragirre 76. It shares the building with the City Music School, working with them to offer students a number of advantages.
Founded in 1985, due to the merger of three different schools in the school year 1995/1996, we can find the school we currently have.
It currently has 403 pupils, attending Infant and Primary Education, where they all learn in a model D in terms of language, with Basque as the main language used. However, mention that multilingualism is one of the axes, teaching the other official language that we have today, Spanish, and working a foreign language, English.
After the 2003/2004 school year, according to the current legislation, we started taking part in quality process and management that ensures the teaching-learning process, and for the first time in 2004, we obtained the certificate` Quality on Education´ offered by the Basque Government, which has several advantages.
Since that year, Txomin Aresti has been part of a school network called `Quality on Education´, who carries out experiences and projects that promote the autonomy of the school, always adapting to the needs of the students.
