Escola Gitanjali, Art Nouveau school in Badalona, Spain

The Escola Gitanjali is a school building in Badalona designed in Catalan modernism and Art Nouveau style. It features three levels including a semi-basement, ground floor, and upper story, with asymmetrical volumes and extended balconies that define its appearance.

The house was built after Leonard Le Prevost applied for the works permit in 1908; it is a modernist building by Joan Amigó i Barriga, listed as a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local. In 1946 Joan Padrós i Fornaguera extended it to turn the single-family home into two independent houses. The Gitanjali School, founded in 1962, later occupied the building on Avinguda Martí Pujol, 37-41.

The school's name comes from Rabindranath Tagore's poetry collection, reflecting the founders' admiration for the Indian poet's work. This choice connects the local institution with a global literary tradition and reveals the international influences that shaped the educational project.

The school occupies the Leonard Le Prevost house at Avinguda Martí Pujol 37-41, on the avenue's southbound side in Badalona. The main door sits behind a small porch, reached from the street; the upper floor is fronted by a long continuous balcony. The building is a protected Cultural Asset of Local Interest, so visits are arranged with the school rather than by walking in.

The Teachers' Cooperative of the school completed a remarkable transformation in 1986 when the private institution became a public facility. This shift reflects the community's commitment to education and open access for all students.
