Català Deutsch Español Français Joan Alcover High School History Joan Alcover High School is the second high school founded in Majorca. It was established in 1942, when it became independent from Ramon Llull High School, as the female section, due to the banning of the co-education system by the Franco dictatorship in 1939. In 1966 the School was moved to the current building, which was up to that moment the Primary Teaching School and the Teaching Practice Annexe. Co-education came back in the school year 1976-77, with the recovery of democracy and the autonomous government. Nowadays ESO (Secondary Education) and Batxillerat (the two years before going to University) are being taught together with some evening classes of The Official Language School. It was one of the first schools to introduce Catalan in teaching, though marginal, after 250 years of being banned in public centres. During the Franco era, in the school year 1959-60, the senior teacher Aina Moll i Marquès started to teach Catalan, without any material compensation, as a voluntary subject and outside the official curriculum. These Catalan classes went on until the language was introduced as a compulsory subject. The school was given permission to use Catalan in all curricular areas in the year 1992. The School Linguistic Project was approved in 1997. Teachers from the Joan Alcover High School have taken part in and contributed to the Balearic culture, even sometimes to the whole area of Catalan speaking areas, following the path of the poet Joan Alcover, whom it is named after, the philologist from Valencia, Manuel Sanchis Guarner, and the already mentioned Aina Moll i Marquès, also a linguist and sociolinguist, the historians Alvaro Santamaría Arández, Guillem Rosselló Bordoy, etc. It holds material of interest for the history of science and education due to its age, mainly in the laboratories of Natural Science and, the Physics and Chemistry Departments. School furniture and didactic material can be seen in the Museum of Education (Inca, Majorca) given by the school. The library keeps valuable books such as the Bernat Metge Collection, of Greek and Latin classical plays.
