Barcelona Montessori School began as a 2015 project led by Tim, the Director, to create a multilingual Montessori environment incorporating English alongside Spanish and Catalan. The nursery opened in 2015 with 8 children and grew to over 40 within three years. Following parent demand and funding, Barcelona Montessori School opened in September 2020. It now operates across two campuses, Carrer Esperança 13 (opened 2020) and Carrer Pomaret 25 (opened 2022), with a combined indoor space of 3,000 square meters and 6,000 square meters of outdoor space, and an Adolescent Program for ages 12-16 opened in September 2025.
English unites a community of more than 40 nationalities. Life at BMS describes the school as a micro-society and a safe space where students develop understanding of their own and others' emotions and behaviours in a complex social context. Adaptability is a key skill encouraged so students grow into capable young people who can navigate real-world situations. The school emphasizes belonging and responsible participation in school life.
The Family Association of BMS exists to coordinate parent involvement. There is a Family Ambassador Programme to engage families in school life. Parent Representatives provide channels for parent input. These groups form part of parent involvement and work with staff to support the school community. They serve as partners in creating a collaborative and inclusive learning environment.
