**About the school**
Oak House School is a private, co-educational school, situated in Sarrià, in the north of Barcelona. It was founded in 1968.
The school is a Non-Profit Foundation with a Board of Governors. The Board is comprised of seven parents, elected through the Parents’ Association.
We currently have 1108 pupils on roll, aged between 3 and 18 years.
In Early Years and Primary, Oak House School is fully authorised as a British School in Spain. The authorisation is awarded by the British Council, following a rigorous inspection by British inspectors. The school is a member of the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS).
The Oak House Secondary department complies fully with the requirements of the Catalan education system and is an authorised International Baccalaureate World School, offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme to our 16 to 18 year old pupils.
The high quality of teaching, the individual attention afforded to each pupil and the wide range of resources provided are factors which define Oak House School. Our teachers are committed professionals who take advantage of regular professional development opportunities, which promote the best practice from the British, IB and Catalan education systems.
We aim to help and motivate each and all pupils to achieve their full academic potential and to fully develop their social and emotional skills.
Our pupils develop into self-confident, honest individuals, who strive to achieve their
personal best, have a positive attitude, a sense of social responsibility and a tolerant, respectful attitude towards others. This is achieved through a strong home-school partnership which we believe is an essential element in the education of our pupils. Regular contact is maintained between tutors and parents.
At Oak House School we encourage our pupils to develop a sense of social responsibility and to have a tolerant, respectful attitude towards others. One of the ways in which we do this is to support both local and international charities, collaborating with the United Nations International Childrens’ Fund (UNICEF) through the ‘School-in-a-box’ programme. Our pupils and families are involved in a variety of fundraising initiatives throughout the year. Secondary pupils also take part in community service projects.
