"We have lived in Barcelona since our children were born. As both our children are thinking about studying abroad, most likely in the United States, we thought it would be a good idea for them to attend an American school for their high school years. ASB looked like the best school in Barcelona to prepare them for this challenge. We were initially interested in reinforcing their English, leveraging the college counseling team, and finding a more international community. We have been thrilled to find a great and very welcoming community, with teachers focused on the children's individual development and a very open-minded and motivating attitude. ASB is a school where the children enjoy the process of continuous learning and growth as individuals and as part of a group. They are motivated academically and personally to explore and pursue their passions."

"I started in first grade and am about to finish elementary. Every year the school feels more and more like home, but even from the beginning, ASB's community is so strong that no matter where you're from or how long you've been here, you always feel part of the family. All my teachers are so friendly, supportive, and motivating. They find fun and creative ways to help me learn."

“I've been fortunate to have made some great friends at ASB. Diversity, respect among students, and a warm and caring community have contributed to that. In addition, being on the Middle School Student Council has allowed me to help my peers while developing my confidence and leadership skills. I'm also having a lot of fun playing on the middle school girl's soccer team.”

"Since moving to ASB in seventh grade, the school’s encouraging community has inspired me to join student groups, as well as to take initiative and create my own. I proudly form a part of the Student Council and the Cadete girls’ volleyball team, as well as being founder and editor-in-chief of the Blue & Read student newspaper; these associations enable me to connect, exchange ideas, and learn from my outstanding peers. Go Lynx!"

"We chose to live in Barcelona because it's a perfect city to work, live, and raise children. I am very close to Africa geographically, in the same time zone as most operations, and I can easily be in other European cities, or to the US where we need to go regularly. It's also great to live and to raise children in an environment that is very authentic, with strong roots and history, and at the same time totally open and multicultural. The 'livability' of Barcelona is simply exceptional. I have lived and worked on almost every continent, and nowhere in the world is there a combination of a big city, business presence, culture, history, connectivity, and quality of life."

"My classmates are my friends. We learn to respect each other. To take turns and to share."

“Being a part of the ASB community was a big part of my life. I made life-long friends and established English as my third language. I traveled multiple times to the United States on school trips, and the school introduced me to another culture besides mine. My American adventure of working and living in Miami today would not have been the same without my years at ASB.”

"Our teachers are really special. They are caring, kind and so helpful. We feel safe in school."

"When you travel from Boston to Barcelona with three kids, you look for the best school to make a smooth transition. We are so glad we chose ASB! They have the best teachers who helped our children adapt, the best administration who are always willing to listen and assist, the best campus where kids can be kids, and the best community with great families and diverse cultures. We cannot be prouder to be part of the ASB community, happy kids, happy parents!!!"

"My friends are from all over the world. I learn about traditions celebrated in each of their homes. I am lucky to be part of this community."

"After a worldwide search, my family moved to Barcelona from NYC in 2014 and could not have been luckier to land at ASB. Our kids are thriving and have so many opportunities to challenge themselves both in and out of the classroom. The entire school has a culture of continuous improvement and we have seen tremendous growth (new ES building, new MS/Gym/Auditorium building, increased focus on the arts, sports, science, and math are just a few examples) in a short period of time.  We are so grateful to be a part of the ASB community. Go Lynx!"
