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:
“In truth, the legitimate contention is, not of one age or school of literary art against another, but of all successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“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)
“...Women’s Studies can amount simply to compensatory history; too often they fail to challenge the intellectual and political structures that must be challenged if women as a group are ever to come into collective, nonexclusionary freedom.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
