Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

Founded in 1978, the school has operated a trilingual project (English, Catalan, and Spanish). The campus is located in the upper area of Barcelona and spans more than 11,000 square meters. The languages of instruction include English, Catalan, and Spanish; some subjects are taught in English and Cambridge exams are administered on-site (Movers, Starters, Flyers in primary; PET, KEY, First, or Advance in secondary) and recognized by Cambridge University. French is introduced in secondary to prepare for DELF or DALF, with English and French certificates recognized by the CE. The school maintains a connection with Cambridge International School.

Community

The students are the main protagonist and reason for the school's existence, and learning occurs in a climate of coexistence and respect. Educational excellence is supported by long experience and the ability to adapt to new educational challenges. Proximity and trust are emphasized, with the school accompanying students at all growth stages and building a solid emotional base. Tutorial action focuses on daily monitoring by tutors and experienced teaching staff, while extracurricular activities and a summer program broaden student life.
