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.
A personalised approach to learning
We support individual growth by personalising learning, giving our students more say in their curriculum, determining what they learn. We also focus on the skills and habits they will need to be successful in all they do.
We don’t just want our students to pass exams: we want them to transition seamlessly into life after BSB.
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.
We want our students to be successful in life after BSB
The British School of Barcelona has a well-established and proud reputation for providing great education. Our students leave with excellent academic results, ready to live successful lives.
We achieve this through a combination of academic excellence, giving students more say in their curriculum, our focus on the skills and habits they will need to thrive after BSB, and the best possible personal, social and academic support for every one of our students.

FAQs
The BSB Maresme campus will be opened in September 2026 for Nursery to Year 4 pupils (3-9 years old). We are 100% confident we will open on time — the project is being led by a specialist Cognita team and we have already started work on the site.
Secondary will open from September 2027. Once completed, it will be a two form entry school with a capacity of approximately 700 students.
Students will follow the English national curriculum, take IGCSEs in Year 11 and then the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Years 12 and 13.
Maresme provides an ideal setting for education, offering a unique mix of natural beauty, a healthy lifestyle, and close proximity to Barcelona. Families benefit from a peaceful, spacious environment where children can grow up close to nature, enjoying the beach, mountains, and outdoor activities year-round. With its growing appeal among both local and international families, Maresme is a vibrant, welcoming community and an increasingly popular choice for those seeking excellent schooling and a high quality of life.
