St George´s British International School

The school aims to develop confident, responsible, and compassionate individuals by fostering core values of respect, responsibility, empathy, personal best, and kindness. It emphasises a high-quality British education that encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and emotional intelligence. As part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), the school focuses on preparing students to thrive in an interconnected world through personalised learning and a family-like community atmosphere.

The school offers a continuous learning journey from Early Years to Sixth Form. Early Years (ages 2-5) follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage; Primary School (ages 5-11) focuses on the English National Curriculum with compulsory Spanish and Catalan; Secondary School (ages 11-16) prepares students for IGCSEs; and Sixth Form (ages 16-18) offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).

Students achieve strong academic results, with graduates gaining admission to prestigious universities in Spain, the UK, Europe, North America, and Asia. The school reports high performance in the IB Diploma Programme, with a 100% pass rate, and strong results in IGCSE examinations, particularly in English language and literature. Alumni are prepared for future international opportunities through a focus on critical thinking, communication skills, and emotional intelligence.

The school prioritises student wellbeing through a dedicated pastoral team, including a school psychologist and designated safeguarding leads. Personalised attention is provided by qualified teachers who offer continuous feedback and individualised support. Initiatives such as 'Wellbeing Ambassadors' and specific pastoral programmes are implemented to ensure a safe, supportive environment for all students.

The school maintains an inclusive admissions process that welcomes families to enquire, book a call, or schedule a visit to the campus. Prospective families may be asked to provide previous school reports and participate in a trial day or interview. Upon successful evaluation, the school issues a written offer, requiring finalisation of the enrolment process within a specified timeframe to secure a place.

The academic year is divided into three terms, typically running from early September to late June. The calendar includes scheduled half-term breaks in October, February, and April, as well as national and regional holidays. Staff inset days are designated throughout the year, during which there is no school for students.

Located in the Sarriá neighbourhood, the campus features air-conditioned classrooms, three science laboratories, a professional-grade auditorium, and specialised music and art rooms. The grounds include extensive libraries, an indoor gym, and green areas with botanical diversity. The school incorporates sustainable practices, such as geothermal energy, solar panels, and natural light, and provides an on-site nurse's station.

Students participate in a variety of activities beyond the classroom, including talent contests, speech and painting competitions, and musical activities. The school offers sports competitions, volunteering programmes, and leadership opportunities through the Student Council, Junior Leadership Team, and Peer Mentors. Additionally, students may engage in the Duke of Edinburgh Award and various clubs, such as the 'Cloud Club' and 'Wellbeing Wednesdays'.
