International American School in Barcelona

“Our family have been the beneficiaries of ASB’s positive, solution-centered focus since before joining. ASB has offered opportunities to our children - academic, athletic, and social -  which we do not believe would have otherwise been possible. These opportunities have resulted in thoughtful kids who are challenged to find their place in the world and ask difficult questions with new perspectives on answers they’ve learned through school.”

"From the second I joined ASB I was amazed by the support and community. I had an idea to start an economics club, and in under a week it was backed by so many people that it went from a simple concept to an international club helping so many classmates prepare for their IB exams. Thank you, ASB, for empowering students to make their voices heard."

"The American School is where we found the perfect balance between high-quality education and a vibrant, welcoming international community.
For us, it’s essential that our daughter grows up in an environment where respect and appreciation for different cultures are at the heart of the school.
ASB is not only a place of excellent academic standards but a community where families truly feel part of a big village that helps children grow up open to the world."

"Coming from a very different culture, I was relieved how welcoming, and open-minded the student body was. The students are accustomed to the international community and celebrate different cultures. I would say, without a doubt, that the people– students and teachers– are ASB's greatest strength."

"One thing I love at ASB is the confidence and depth of our students that are shining through our Oracy Program. I am continually inspired as they sharpen their debate and argumentation skills, master the art of persuasive speech, and open up to write and speak beautifully about vulnerable subjects. Our students are discovering the profound power of their own voices and I am so honored to be their coach." 

"ASB's safe environment has helped me to find like-minded students with whom to grow. I have been an active member of the performing arts, performing in multiple school productions and charity and community events. I feel very fortunate to have such amazing teachers and a learning community that cares about student well-being."

"I enjoy working at ASB because it brings together teachers and students from all over the world. This multicultural environment fosters collaboration and ensures that diverse perspectives are valued and taken into consideration."

"ASB drastically changed my perceptions as a former small-town American who had never before recognized the complexity of the world or the beauty that can flourish from intercultural friendships. My experience at ASB taught me the importance of community service, allowing me to understand how to tackle social problems at a young age."

“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.”

"I am forever grateful to the teachers I had during my time at ASB. Their passion and dedication is unsurpassed; it is clear they not only love the subjects they teach but appreciate their role in guiding the curiosity and ambition of the students that pass through their classrooms. I'm going to miss seeing them every day."

"Extracurricular activities and community service are essential components for students. I was the president of Rotary Interact, a student representative for Student Council, a delegate in Model United Nations, and on the school tennis team. ASB opened the door to an empowering, open-minded, and international learning experience that continues to guide me today."

"I attended ASB from PK3 until Grade 12, and over the years, I was able to appreciate the authentic feeling of community at the school. The school, being relatively small, makes it easy for students to develop strong relationships with classmates, students in other grades, and the teachers."
