A personalised British educational system

At BSB Maresme, we design a personalised learning pathway for every child, from their early years in the school through to the age of eighteen, combining an innovative curriculum with a deep passion for learning. Each student’s educational journey nurtures a lifelong love of learning and prepares them to face the challenges of the 21st and 22nd centuries.

We follow the British curriculum across all educational stages, concluding with the Sixth Form, where students benefit from the full advantages of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).

In addition, our new campus in Cabrera de Mar offers an ideal educational setting that brings together natural beauty, a healthy lifestyle, and close proximity to Barcelona. Families enjoy a peaceful, spacious environment where children can grow up surrounded by nature, with easy access to the beach, the mountains, and outdoor activities throughout the year.

«Outstanding in Every Category»

The British School of Barcelona has a well-established reputation for providing an excellent education. In fact, BSB has been awarded the independent accreditation recognising it as an Outstanding school in every category, following the inspection carried out by the British Schools Overseas (BSO) framework of the UK Department for Education.

This distinction represents the highest quality standard for an international school and reflects the strength, quality, and excellence of a BSB education.

Preparing students to shape the world

In The British School of Barcelona, we inspire our students to be creative, curious thinkers who feel both supported and challenged. They grow, have high personal expectations and learn to demonstrate commitment, resilience and respect for all.

Our students become global citizens, they embrace difference and become principled in their beliefs.

Inspiring passion for learning

At BSB, we promote an educational vision that goes beyond delivering knowledge. We focus on nurturing a set of essential learning habits, with the aim of helping every student develop a lifelong love of learning through a positive attitude that encourages them to thrive academically and in their future lives. This philosophy is embedded across all educational stages and in every one of our campuses.

To achieve this, we draw upon nine Learning Habits that underpin the school experience and prepare students to face any challenge. By the time they graduate, our students have become confident and independent young people, ready to take on life’s challenges with assurance and autonomy.

The best student support

Our focus on wider learning habits alongside our approach to wellbeing are key to our students growing into successful young people who can negotiate the ever-changing world. Our commitment to our school community wellbeing was recognised in January 2022 when we achieved the Wellbeing Award for Schools.

We know BSB students will be leaders of the future, but we want them to do this ethically and with an imperative to make the world a better place.
