Why ASB

At ASB, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to discover and pursue their passions. Whether it's on the sports field, in the performing arts, or through a wide variety of clubs and activities, we offer something for everyone. Our goal is to nurture students' unique interests, helping them build confidence, develop new skills, and grow as individuals. Through diverse extracurricular opportunities, we encourage every student to explore, and find what excites them, creating a well-rounded experience that complements their academic journey.

We are proud to be a diverse community with students representing over 60 nationalities, each bringing a unique perspective and enriching our learning environment. Through a combination of local and international service learning projects, as well as participation in globally recognized programs like Model United Nations, our students are developing a deep understanding of what it means to be responsible global citizens. They learn to appreciate different cultures, collaborate across borders, and recognize their ability to make a meaningful impact on the world around them. At ASB, we are not just educating students; we are empowering future leaders who are ready to contribute to a better, more interconnected world.

We are fortunate to be located in the culturally vibrant city of Barcelona, Spain, and we make the most of this rich environment to enhance our students’ learning experience. Starting in preschool, students begin learning Spanish, engaging with local customs and traditions that help bring the language to life. For our native Spanish speakers, we offer specialized Spanish classes aligned with the national curriculum, where students study language, literature, and grammar at their respective grade levels. Likewise, we offer Catalan language classes for both native speakers and language learners. By honoring the local culture, we provide our students with a deeper connection to their surroundings, fostering both language proficiency and cultural appreciation.

Academic excellence means more than just mastering facts—it’s about developing critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills that prepare students for a rapidly changing world. Our rigorous curriculum, including the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, challenges students to think deeply and approach learning with curiosity and independence. This focus on intellectual growth, combined with personalized support, has led to outstanding IB results and admission to top universities worldwide. We are committed to helping each student achieve their academic potential while guiding them toward the best-fit university for their future success.
