Located on the outskirts of Barcelona, the Barcelona Japanese School is a private foundation-run institution serving ages 3 to 15. It follows the Japanese national curriculum for elementary and middle school, guiding students to learn independently, with emotional depth and resilience. Instruction emphasizes student-led, interactive learning and uses tablets to support individualized and collaborative work within a teacher-based subject structure. Middle school classes run 45 minutes with a flexible 5-minute adjustment to preserve time for language study. From first grade, English instruction is provided and Spanish activities occur weekly for all grades. The school also conducts local fieldwork and exchanges to foster international understanding and local knowledge. The campus features a nature-rich setting with a gym, futsal court, playground, home economics, arts and crafts, science rooms, and a classroom garden. Distinctive programs include Art Day visits to Catalan cultural sites and exchanges with schools and the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
