History
Founded in 1958 as the Anglo-American School, the British School of Barcelona was authorised to offer a British education to pupils of all nationalities, (including Spanish citizens) in October 1979.
Today the school is owned and operated by Cognita, a private Schools company based in Milton Keynes in the United Kingdom. The school is also a founder member of the National Association of British Schools in Spain.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
