IB World Schools share a common philosophy: a commitment to a rigorous and quality international education we consider important for our students. Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: Primary Years Programme (PEP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (PD) or the Carreer-related Programme (CP). For more information about the IB and its programmes, visit http://www.ibo.org.
The IB is an innovative and international method that requires continuous training of the teaching staff, obtaining clear and tangible results. Currently we are the first and only school in Barcelona to obtain the official PYP certification with 5 special mentions, 3 of which highlighted the excellent cohesion of the whole school team.
Belonging to the I.B. is an honour and a responsibility. This innovative programme requires the effort and cohesion of the entire teaching team. The aim of the I.B. programmes is not only to stimulate the student to stand out in their studies but also to motivate them to constantly search for learning and new knowledge, openly, ethically and enthusiastically. We seek their academic and personal growth.
