We are based in three locations: in Castelldefels with a Primary, Secondary and Pre‑University campus, in Sitges where we have another Primary campus, and in the heart of Barcelona with BSB City campuses.
The growth of the school has been accompanied by significant investment in state‑of‑the‑art facilities for pre‑university, sports and STEAM, and new campuses.
Barcelona offers a wonderful quality of life with a mild climate and year‑round sunshine.
