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:
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Only the history of free peoples is worth our attention; the history of men under a despotism is merely a collection of anecdotes.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
