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).
