ph3About the School-The British School of Barcelona (Castelldefels): /h3 /brpThe British School of Barcelona (BSB) is a great school in a wonderful location.

Our curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum, and we offer a wide range of GCSEs, A levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma, all alongside a significant enrichment programme. /p /brpOver 2000 pupils from more than 74 nationalities attend the school and over 325 staff work at BSB. We are based in three locations, two just outside the city of Barcelona – in Castelldefels, where we have a Primary, Secondary and Pre-University campus, and in the cosmopolitan town of Sitges, where we have another Primary campus.
