School Organisation and Studies
The British School of Barcelona educates children from Nursery School age to University Entrance. Studies at the school mainly follow the National Curriculum of England and Wales. Pupils at the school then study for GCSE and A Level examinations.
In addition, the school also offers courses in Spanish and the Catalan language, as well as the History and Geography of Spain (this is a legal requirement in all schools in Spain).
Pupils at the school who plan to go on and study at Spanish universities prepare for the university access examination “Selectividad”, which is organised by the UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia).

Famous quotes containing the words school, organisation and/or studies:
“Cinema, radio, television, magazines are a school of inattention: people look without seeing, listen in without hearing.”
—Robert Bresson (b. 1907)
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
“The conduct of a man, who studies philosophy in this careless manner, is more truly sceptical than that of any one, who feeling in himself an inclination to it, is yet so over-whelm’d with doubts and scruples, as totally to reject it. A true sceptic will be diffident of his philosophical doubts, as well as of his philosophical conviction; and will never refuse any innocent satisfaction, which offers itself, upon account of either of them.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
