My Project
Students will read and discuss The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quijote de La Mancha in preparation for our trip to Spain in March 2026. Much like Cervantes' timeless protagonist, we will explore the rich cultural, geopolitical, and historical settings discussed in the book. This unique experience will allow student travellers to trace the literary and historical landmarks associated with Don Quixote, deepening their understanding of the novel. This immersive experience will take place across several cities and towns in Spain including Madrid, Toledo, Consuegra, Ciudad Real, and Barcelona, following in the footsteps of Don Quixote.
More than half of students from low‑income households
