Zürich Schule Barcelona
Over fifty years of educational excellence
We are a small traditional school that has been welcoming generations of students from the same families for over fifty years. Our commitment to education is reflected in the expertise and experience of our teaching staff, who have supported an Education Project that has evolved and has been strengthened over time. We are proud to be the only school in Spain to offer the prestigious Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) within the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) that have German as a teaching language. Thanks to this unique combination, we form multilingual global-thinking minds and prepare our students to confidently and successfully confront the challenges of the modern world.
Three levels
Preschool (Nursery school) Education is imparted at the Kindergarten, a small oasis located at 2, Carrer d'Ifni, opposite beautiful Santa Amèlia park. Small in size, the school provides personal attention to each child, nurturing a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Adopting the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of IB schools, we encourage curiosity and critical thinking from a very early age. Our proximity and individual approach guarantee an integral development, improving the self-confidence, creativity and interpersonal skills of our pupils and implementing an internationally renowned curriculum.

Preschool Education
At Primary Education level, each pupil continues to receive individual attention, which fosters a close and considerate environment. Adopting the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of IB schools, we encourage curiosity and critical thinking from a very early age. Moreover, we offer a unique four-language approach, strengthening German, introducing English and progressing in Spanish and Catalan. This enriching combination provides our pupils with solid pedagogical and linguistic capacities to face a global future.

Primary Education
Implementing the Middle Years Programme (MYP) of IB schools, we promote critical thinking and questioning. Our emphasis on German leads to a well-grounded command of the language with the objective of passing level C1 and obtaining the official Goethe-Institut certificate, and the Trinity College London certificate for English level B2 (at least). Furthermore, Zürich Schule Barcelona has a long-standing distinction in the scientific field.

Secondary Education
Our students graduate upon completing their fourth year of Secondary Education, which grants them direct access to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP), a reflection of our educational excellence. In addition, we have been maintaining a fruitful collaboration for over forty years with Escuela Suiza de Barcelona (ESB). In order to help students broaden their intellectual and professional horizons, besides preparing them to access the Spanish bachillerato (baccalaureate) we offer them the possibility of accessing other equivalent options, such as the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP), the German Abitur, the Swiss Matura, the US High School Diploma and the British A-Level Programme.
