School history

Old Building of the secondary school
New Building of the secondary school

The Spanish Government founded the secondary school in 1845, as part of a large plan for ameliorate the secondary studies. For this, a center was founded in every capital of province. On 17 September a new secondary school was established in Girona, at the ancient monastery of the Friars Minor Capuchin.[3] With little resources, provided by the provincial government (called Diputació provincial) the school bought important collections in Paris of natural history, botanics, chemistry and physics,[4] as well as creating an important library for the alumni and, at the same time, for the inhabitants of the city of Girona.

Since 1966 the school has been located in a new building, built in Girona uptown. This modern site was well-furnished for the education requirements of those times.[5] Currently, the school is the leading educational center at the province of Girona, with renovated facilities and some experimental courses, like the IB Diploma Programme since 1999.[6] Also, the Senior Management Team led by Estanislau Puig created the "Institut Jaume Vicens Vives Foundation" (Fundació de l'Institut Jaume Vicens Vives), and a Board of Former Alumni, to support these new experiences.

School Hymn

The school hymn was composed by Perfecte Moll in 1995 –for the celebrations of 150th foundation of the school–, with the lyrics by Francesc Amer,.[7] On 18 October 2016, the hymn was sung because of the celebrations of the 175th foundation of the school.

Aura del sol (The sun's gentle)

Alcem nostres veus sobre la boirada
com aus en l'estela d'un incert futur,
floreixin els cors de nova esperança,
sadolli la terra de vida i de llum...

Com branques novelles
en ferma rabassa
libant les escletxes
de roques i fang,
brandem en les fulles,
verd, guia i mestratge,
l'ànima de pedra
de nous Catalans...!

Som ardent foguera
d'un gresol de joia,
som ànimes netes
en un cant d'amor,
som la Primavera
d'una eterna aurora,
som caliu i cendra
de lluita i esforç.

I en les velles aules
de glòries dormides,
professors i alumnes
aixequem el vol,
parets que reviuen
mil assignatures...:
Som el Vicens Vives,
som l'Aura del Sol…!
