ESCOLA EL CIM
HISTORY In the year 1962, two teachers, Lluís Parera and
Miquel Pérez, worried about the fast growth of Terrassa, due to the large amount of people who were coming to find a job, decided to create a single and modest school at the threshold of a historical quarter, ”Ca n’Aurell”, and a new one, “la Maurina”.
The school grew as well as the number of teachers. One day, those teachers organized in a cooperative of education, the one which nowadays ensures a good education.
