The main aim of those schools is to provide the immigrants with the necessary information about the Spanish society in general, and more in particular about the Valencian one. It also aims to provide sufficient information in order to assure to the new citizens the correct exercise of their rights and an adequate personal autonomy.

All citizens having reached age of majority and residing in the Valencian Community can be eligible.
