Barcelona’s international schools sit in a bilingual Catalan - Spanish environment and are distinctive for offering a mix of international curricula (IB, British and American frameworks) alongside French, German or Swiss systems used by specific communities. Many schools teach primarily in English while building Spanish and Catalan into the timetable, and some describe themselves as bilingual or trilingual with varying proportions of each language. Annual fees vary widely depending on curriculum and age - subsidised bilingual schools can be at the lower end while fully private international schools (especially at secondary/DP level) are substantially higher - and families should budget separately for registration, transport, lunches and extracurriculars. Admissions generally follow the academic year that starts in September; public-sector enrolment uses a city-wide pre-registration process while private international schools run their own application cycles and waiting lists, so it is common to start research and enquiries many months before a planned move.
