St Peter's School Barcelona is an IB Continuum school delivering the IB across Nursery to Diploma in English. Pre-IB (ages 1–3) leads to PYP (3–11), MYP (11–16) and DP (16–18). Learning is inquiry‑ and concept‑based with a multilingual approach: English as the main language, with Spanish and Catalan integrated and French included. In Spain, the IB Diploma is recognized by the Ministry of Education for university access, and the school supports converting IB results for universities when required.
