The International Homeroom is an immersion-based language support programme, comparable to EAL (English as an Additional Language), for newly arrived Primary and Secondary students aged 6–16. Its aim is to support students in fully integrating into mainstream classes through gradual and structured language development. Through a comprehensive Language Development programme in Spanish and Catalan, students progress through clearly defined stages towards full classroom immersion. Throughout the process, they develop both everyday communication skills (BICS) and the academic language required for learning (CALP) at their own pace. Instructional time is adapted to individual needs to ensure that all students ultimately meet the language expectations set by the school curriculum.

Catalan (language of instruction), French, German/ Chinese.

The programme is guided by a specialised team of psychologists and speech therapists and provides flexible learning pathways tailored to each student’s abilities, age and level of maturity. Students may benefit from classroom enrichment, curriculum extension in a dedicated setting, accelerated learning in specific subjects or, where appropriate, full grade-level acceleration. Families, students and the school work closely together to identify the most suitable option, ensuring that each student is both challenged and supported. Within this framework, students undertake research projects which they later share with their peers, fostering motivation, confidence and a genuine love of learning.

We are an independent international school with a strong humanistic and ecological ethos and a clear commitment to educating responsible, curious and confident young people.

Our educational project is constantly evolving and highly flexible allowing us to adapt learning to the needs, talents and interests of every student.

At this stage students can choose between the National Baccalaureate, the International Baccalaureate or the American High School Diploma opening doors to universities around the world.

Modern facilities, extensive sports areas and a strong sense of community complete an educational experience designed to make the most of every student’s time with us and to prepare them not only for university but for life.

We are an independent school with a strong commitment to human values, sustainability and internationalism. Our educational approach is dynamic and flexible, allowing us to offer personalised learning pathways that respond to each student’s needs and strengths.

Through this approach, we seek to develop curious, empathetic and reflective students who are prepared to become lifelong learners and active members of an increasingly diverse and multicultural world.
