At Zürich Schule Barcelona we offer a unique educational proposal: we are the first school in Spain to combine the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) with German as a vehicular language from the first stages of school. As students progress through their schooling, they progressively incorporate Spanish, English and Catalan, reaching optimal levels of linguistic competence at each stage. This approach favors the development of an open and critical mind, and provides students with the best preparation to access the most prestigious universities, both in Spain and abroad, and to successfully navigate in a global environment.
