Escuela Normal Doctor Juan Gregorio Pujol

The Escuela Normal Doctor Juan Gregorio Pujol is an educational facility in Corrientes, Argentina, designed in neoclassical style with two-story covered corridors surrounding courtyards. The layout incorporates green spaces and trees that give the campus a natural feel alongside the formal buildings.

The school opened in 1884 with two teachers from North America hired by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento to help develop education in Argentina. The current building was constructed later in three separate stages between 1927 and 1935.

The school preserves furniture and musical instruments from earlier centuries along with busts of notable scholars. These objects reflect how education and teaching methods developed in this region over time.

The school is located on Bolivar Street and offers classes from kindergarten through secondary education as well as teacher training programs. Classes run in morning, afternoon, and evening sessions to accommodate different schedules.

The building was designed with side pavilions that connect classroom areas directly to the surrounding gardens in a way that feels seamless. This layout makes the outdoor spaces feel like a natural part of the learning environment.
