Educational Project.
At Zürich Schule Barcelona (ZSB), we understand teaching as a set of actions whose objective is to facilitate the learning process, which we define as the interaction between the student and the object of knowledge. Our vision of teaching extends through the three educational stages in which our educational project is developed.
We understand continuous evaluation as an opportunity to analyze and improve the learning process. Working in small groups of students allows us to deepen this evaluation system.
We develop a critical spirit
We respect the diversity of abilities and learning rhythms.
Cultivating scientific research and systematization

The use of several languages is a social reality and can be harnessed to improve school learning
The multilingual education provided by Zürich Schule Barcelona (ZSB) is a learning method based on intercultural communication as a model of social integration. Learning new languages expands the possibilities of knowledge and experiences.
Multilingual education encourages the learning of new languages and stimulates children's curiosity. Receiving this training at a very early age is an enriching opportunity that favors the cognitive and linguistic development of children, without affecting the development of their mother tongue.
The importance of languages and sciences at Zürich Schule Barcelona: a comprehensive approach
Many families see Zürich Schule Barcelona (ZSB) as an ideal schooling model for achieving proficiency in German and the other languages we teach at our school. Even so, we like to emphasize that the essence of our school, in all its stages, is not only the added value of languages, but also a firm commitment to the promotion of scientific knowledge.
Our students acquire an exceptional level also in the field of science, thanks to the commitment and dedication of our Science Department team, which develops specific didactic material and resources to promote learning in this area. Our curricular program far exceeds the basic competencies established by educational organizations, which guarantees our students exceptional scientific knowledge.
At Zürich Schule Barcelona, we believe that education should be a holistic process, encompassing both language skills and scientific knowledge. This holistic approach is reflected in our commitment to excellence in both fields, allowing each student to develop his or her full potential while preparing for a future full of opportunities.

Digital competence
Use of technology at Zürich Schule Barcelona (ZSB)
Ours is an increasingly digitalized world, in which technology intervenes in all areas of our lives. At Zürich Schule Barcelona we recognize the importance of adapting to this reality.
Thanks to the introduction of technology into our educational program in 2014, our approach to digital competence allows us to prepare our students for an ever-changing world.
We believe in the importance of diversity of educational resources in the classroom and use technology, including the iPad, as a tool to enhance teaching and learning. However, it is essential to remember that the iPad is a support tool for both teachers and students and that its use requires ongoing training for its users.
As part of our approach and commitment to active, collaborative and personalized learning, we have worked with an Apple-certified external partner to ensure that our teachers, students and their families are informed digital citizens.
Data privacy and security is paramount. We use tools such as DEP (Device Enrolment Program), Apple ID Managed and ASM (Apple School Manager) to comply with data protection regulations.
We are committed to providing high quality learning experiences and continue to work with the entire educational community to ensure effective use of technology.
At Zürich Schule Barcelona we subscribe to the potential of technology to enrich education and prepare our students for a constantly evolving world.
