La Miranda - The Global Quality School

The school’s educational philosophy is built on four pillars: academic, emotional, physical, and social development. It focuses on developing the whole child through a student-centered, integrated approach that fosters empathy, respect, personal growth, and inclusion. The school aims to prepare ethical, socially responsible leaders who can thrive in an interconnected, globalised world.

The school offers a multilingual curriculum in Spanish, Catalan, and English, with the introduction of additional languages such as French, Mandarin, German, and Russian. Academic pathways include the Spanish National Baccalaureate and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), with the option to pursue a Dual Diploma. The school provides a 1:1 technology programme from Primary 4 through Baccalaureate.

Graduates consistently secure places at prestigious universities in Spain, the UK, the USA, and Australia, including institutions like Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, and Stanford. The school reports a 100% university entrance rate, with many students pursuing high-demand fields such as medicine, business, law, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy. IBDP candidates frequently achieve scores above the global average.

The school provides a dedicated team of psychologists and 'link teachers' to support the holistic development and emotional wellbeing of each student. Tailored guidance is provided to help students develop self-reliance, resilience, and emotional intelligence.

The school accepts applications year-round and encourages early application due to high demand. The admissions process typically involves a diagnostic assessment and an interview. The school offers sibling discounts from the third child onwards and provides a limited number of scholarships for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), including the Nsouli Scholars Programme.

The school calendar includes all key school dates, holidays, national bank holidays in Spain, and specific non-teaching days in Barcelona. The academic year is structured to keep families informed and supported throughout the term.

The 14,000 m² campus in Sant Just Desvern comprises 11 purpose-built buildings, including science laboratories, technology suites with 1:1 iPads, Mac rooms, and robotics labs. Sports facilities feature a semi-Olympic heated indoor pool, an indoor sports hall, two gyms, and outdoor astroturf football, volleyball, and basketball courts. The campus also includes a professional-grade auditorium, dance and gymnastics studios, a library, and four dining venues.

The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports such as judo, basketball, football, and volleyball, as well as music and arts programmes. Students have achieved recognition in national and international competitions, including the Pangea Math Competition and the Young Creator music composition contest. These activities are led by qualified professionals and coaches.
