Parent Experience

History
Since its opening, Agora Princess Margaret International School has been known for its high standards and excellent academic preparation. It began as an English-language school at a time when French was predominantly studied; Mrs. Gaos and Mrs. Ruhí reckoned on an international scenario and English became the heart of the language project from day one. Since 1967, the school has provided quality education and commitment; in 2000 Agora Princess Margaret International School consolidated a project by enlarging its facilities, adapting to new technologies, and including the academic period of Secondary School as part of its programme, thus extending the coverage of academic stages. Today Agora Princess Margaret International School is a leading international school in Barcelona, located in the Horta-Guinardó neighbourhood, with a family-oriented approach and a proactive spirit that has allowed it to incorporate experience and teaching knowledge at the service of its pupils.

Community
Shared experiences are a central part of school life, with projects undertaken away from the classroom that help students get to know themselves, their peers and educators better. Examples include Ski Week for students in upper Primary to early Secondary, the Madrid trip to explore cultural heritage, and the end-of-year trip to a European city. The program also includes an Emotional Education Camp at La Granja and stays abroad to practice English and build group commitment. These experiences promote learning beyond the classroom and foster collaboration and personal growth.
