Zürich Schule Barcelona: Fostering Education, Embracing Diversity

Zürich Schule Barcelona is a privately-owned, non-subsidized, and secular institution that offers a holistic educational experience from Preschool to Secondary education. Our mission is to empower students not only academically but also emotionally, socially, and physically. We prioritize building a sense of community, emphasizing the value of human connections and participation in school projects.

Our school is a melting pot of cultures, with approximately 300 students from 40 different nationalities, creating a rich and global learning environment. All our teachers are native speakers, providing an immersive language experience.

A History of Educational Excellence

With over 50 years of history, Zürich Schule Barcelona has cultivated an international mindset and global awareness in our students. We aim to instil responsible and respectful values that reflect in the actions and contributions of our learning community.

In our Preschool program, we provide instruction in the German language, with exceptions for Literacy and Swimming, taught in Spanish and Catalan. Our teaching methods are tailored to unlock the potential of young children. Recognizing the importance of early education, we operate year-round in four-month terms, aligned with our program's objectives, guiding our young learners in their journey.

An IB School with PYP and MYP Programmes

Zürich Schule Barcelona is proud to be an International Baccalaureate (IB) school, offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP). This approach nurtures active, supportive, and lifelong learners, emphasizing holistic development and personal growth.

In Primary Education, we emphasize the German language, focusing on written language skills. We strategically schedule classes to encourage both oral and written language acquisition, ensuring personalized attention for each student.

The IB Primary Years Programme focuses on learning, social and emotional well-being, empowering students to develop their individuality and take responsibility for their educational journey. It equips them to become global citizens who uphold their personal values and navigate a complex world.

Our school excels in implementing trans-disciplinary themes, integrating local and global topics into our curriculum, broadening horizons beyond traditional subjects.

As an IB school, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) in our Secondary education emphasizes intellectual challenge, bridging classroom learning with real-world applications. We prepare our students for success in further education and life beyond our school.

Adapting to a Changing World

Our students, from 1st to 10th grade, utilize iPads as essential tools in their learning journey, complementing traditional educational materials. Furthermore, we've developed a custom ZSB app that streamlines communication and enhances the learning experience.

At Zürich Schule Barcelona, we're more than an educational institution; we're a vibrant community inspiring and preparing students for a dynamic, interconnected world.
