Gemma Izquierdo is the Head and Founder of St. Patrick's International School. She states that five years ago she pursued her dream and founded the school to provide total immersion in English in Barcelona. The school offers activities such as yoga, piano, Chinese, cooking, mindfulness, Montessori, dance, weekly reading and writing, and music to support the development of each child. The school emphasizes developing each child's potential within a multilingual setting.
Family involvement is central to the school's community. Daily routines are shared with families via a private internal platform; the school also organizes open days, conferences and workshops to support parents, and assemblies and certificates promote emotional intelligence and core values. At least one personalized annual meeting is offered with each family, along with a September welcome meeting, two annual progress reports for each child, and access to psychological support if needed.
St. Patrick's International School is a British-curriculum school in Sant Joan Despí, Barcelona, teaching from Pre-Nursery through Secondary (ages 0–18). The school offers a British education with Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge A Levels, structured around Pre-Nursery and Early Years, Primary, and Secondary programs. A distinctive feature is total English immersion in a multilingual setting, with English language immersion enhanced by multilingual learning from the Pre-Nursery stage. The campus is housed in a renovated Catalan masía (Can Trias de Bes) and combines a natural environment with modern facilities, including classrooms equipped with technology and a large outdoor area for sports and outdoor learning. The school provides an ALN department and an English ALN team to support students with additional learning needs. A broad extracurricular program runs through lunch clubs and after-school activities, including music, dance, mindfulness, yoga, languages, and sports, reinforcing social-emotional development and independence. The school actively involves families too.
