All students wear the BCA school uniform. Year 12 and 13 have a dress code requiring business-style attire: jacket and/or smart jumper/cardigan and/or smart coat, smart trousers or knee-length skirt with tights, plain collared shirt or blouse, and smart shoes; the jacket may be omitted in warm weather. On PE days, wear the BCA PE kit; on approved non-uniform days, casual dress may be allowed.
Lunch is freshly cooked on site every day and a healthy morning snack is provided. Menus meet nutritional guidelines and the Mediterranean diet, and can be adapted for health requirements, allergies or intolerances, or other dietary needs.

The Council has five areas of work: Wellbeing, Environment & School Facilities, Academics, Events, and Charities & Service Learning.
The British College of Andorra is owned by an Andorran company, British College Overseas SL. The headteacher leads the school in partnership with the IB coordinator and the heads of primary and secondary to guide the school.
The British College of Andorra is an international school serving ages 3 to 17, delivering a blend of EYFS, British curriculum, and IB Diploma Programme. The school teaches in English with specialist teaching in Spanish, Catalan and French, and provides EAL support for multilingual learners. As an IB World School, it follows IB approaches to learning and offers the Diploma Programme core elements of Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity and Service, taught by staff trained in IB methodologies. The campus sits on a wooded hillside above Andorra la Vella, with a Sports Hall and slate-faced buildings near UNESCO World Heritage landscapes. The school emphasizes international-mindedness and a UK-aligned education from nursery through Year 13; in 2025 it joined the Forfar Education group. Extra-curricular life includes a UNICEF Escola Amiga initiative, Eco-Schools involvement, and an after-school program with activities such as sport, community service, and leadership opportunities.
