History

Established in 1924.

Graland’s rich history began in 1924 when concerned parents and teachers came together to create a school different from others of the era. From its earliest days, Graland’s approach to teaching was influenced by the philosophy of educator John Dewey, who believed in «progressive education» and an educational system adapted to the needs of children. As it was then, Graland’s focus today is on the whole child and on the development of a well-​balanced individual of strong character who excels intellectually, athletically and creatively.
