The British School of Barcelona (BSB) is a great school in a wonderful location. We are an HMC school and were judged by a recent BSO (British Schools Overseas) inspection to be outstanding in every area, including quality of education, safeguarding, pupil welfare and academic outcomes.
BSB is a large, very popular school for children aged 3 to 18. Our curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum, and we offer a wide range of GCSEs, A levels, BTEC and the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB), all alongside a significant enrichment programme.
Approximately 2,350 students from more than 74 nationalities attend the school and over 375 staff work at BSB. We are based in several locations across the Barcelona area, including Castelldefels and Sitges, as well as our campuses in the heart of Barcelona: BSB Esperança, offering Early Years and Year 1, and BSB City (Luca), offering Primary, Secondary and Pre-University education.
In September 2026, we opened a new campus north of Barcelona, in the Maresme area, initially welcoming EYFS and Primary-aged students.
The growth of the school has been accompanied by significant investment over recent years, including the building of a state-of-the-art Pre-University Centre (Nexus), a full-sized 4G rugby and football pitch, dedicated STEAM facilities and the new BSB City and Maresme campuses.
Barcelona is a wonderful place to live, combining an amazing city with beaches and mountains nearby. The quality of life is excellent with a mild climate and year-round sunshine.
