About The British School of Barcelona, City Esperanca

The British School of Barcelona (BSB) is a great school in a wonderful location. We are an HMC school and were judged by our recent BSO (British Schools Overseas) Inspection to be outstanding in every category.

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 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma, all alongside a significant enrichment programme.

Over 1600 pupils from over 50 nationalities attend the school and over 250 staff work at BSB. We are based in three locations just outside the city of Barcelona – in Castelldefels, in the city centre of Barcelona itself and in the cosmopolitan town of Sitges.

Significant investment in recent years has seen the building of a Pre-University Centre (Nexus), a theatre, new science laboratories, a full-sized 4G rugby and football pitch and, most recently, a state-of-the-art STEM Centre.

Facilities & Location: Barcelona is one of the most vibrant, culturally rich cities in the world.

BSB City is our newest British international campus for children aged 3-18 in the heart of Barcelona city. It brings to Barcelona our international, future-facing BSB education to students from Early Years to Pre-University.

BSB City consists of two buildings that together cover all the educational stages: the Foundation Campus and the Main Campus.

BSB City is now open in the Foundation campus, an inspirational school located in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi for our youngest students.

September 2023 will see the opening of the spectacular BSB City Main Campus which will extend our provision in Barcelona for students up to Pre-University

Both BSB Castelldefels (Primary and Secondary) and BSB Sitges (Primary) campuses are minutes away from beautiful beaches and are excellently connected by public transport.

BSB Castelldefels campus offers purpose-built, modern facilities for students in Early Years, Primary and Secondary. This optimal setting supports and enhances effective teaching and learning that lead to consistently high standards of achievement.

BSB Nexus is a purpose-built campus for students aged 16 to 18. Located in Castelldefels, very close to the BSB Castelldefels campus, it provides a real-world Pre-University experience where distinct study and social spaces support independent study and encourage the development of the 21st century skills as they prepare for university and their future careers.

BSB Sitges offers a unique learning environment for Early Years (from 2-year-olds) and Primary children. The thoughtfully designed facilities provide quality learning experiences and a safe, supportive school environment where children can thrive.
