British education with a difference a personalised approach and authentic learning
Founded in 2007, The International School of Catalunya (ISCAT) is a British school located in the small town of La Garriga, Barcelona. Through our personalised programme , we offer formal British education to students aged 3 to 18, from Early Years to A Levels. All students follow the National Curriculum of England and Wales, taking the British GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) at approximately aged 16, and the A Level (British baccalaureate) thereafter. Both are recognised and officially convalidated by both local (Generalitat) and international institutions. The British system of education is lauded worldwide for its high standard of achievement, inclusion and forward-thinking curriculum.
ISCAT complements the core curriculum with activities and initiatives designed
to build and promote self-esteem, resilience and community spirit, such as
Forest School and the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools programme.
In 2012, we became the first school in Spain to offer Forest School under the
guidance of qualified Forest Leader Emma Montgomery. With the wonderful
Malhivern forest just a short walk away, our students have at hand an idyllic
setting for experiential learning in this natural woodland environment, which
not only fosters a deep respectful connection with nature but also serves as an
inspiration for learning within the classroom.
As an accredited Gold Award UNICEF Rights Respecting School, the articles of the
Declaration of the Rights of the Child underpin not only our programme of
learning, but also inform all policies and the day-to-day governance of the
school.
WHERE LEARNING COMES ALIVE
In offering a stimulating, engaging and challenging programme, we strive to
develop and optimise the full potential of every student in our multicultural
environment.
Nurturing Individual Potential
Our focus at ISCAT is on nurturing every student’s growth,
guiding them to achieve the personal best that aligns with their own aspirations
and needs. This individualised approach successfully opens doors to third-level
institutions across the UK, Europe and beyond.
Commitment
The value given to each child’s personality, home language,
creativity and rhythm of development characterises ISCAT’s commitment to
creating a nurturing environment where every student feels valued and respected.
Curriculum
The curriculum, which is compatible with the local “Plan de la
Generalitat”, is based on the National Curriculum of England and Wales and
brings together the best of British education abroad.
Our goal
In every instance, our school’s pedagogy supports high academic achievement, intellectual, creative and emotional development for each child, and the fostering of a lifelong passion for learning.
