Oak House School is a private, non-profit campus in Barcelona that offers British, local, and International Baccalaureate education to ages 3 to 18. The school follows the British National Curriculum, Cambridge IGCSE, and the IB Diploma Programme, with a tri-lingual approach across primary and secondary. Primary teaching is in English, Spanish and Catalan and aligns with English standards, preparing pupils for the Secondary's multilingual program. In the first year of ESO, a fourth language (French or German) enters, and coding becomes a fifth language. At age 16, students sit Cambridge IGCSE/ GCSE exams, with post-16 options including Bachillerato Nacional and the IB Diploma Programme. The campus comprises eight buildings with facilities: science laboratories, a technology room, music rooms, an arts area, an auditorium, and eco-conscious senior facilities opened in 2015. Enrichment includes Oracy, Debate and MUN, Duke of Edinburgh, and Work Experience alongside a sports, music, and STEM program.
