We moved to Barcelona and chose the school online because they advertised it as a family-centric community (it isn’t), not elitist (it is somewhat), very good academically (it is fine, but not excellent), and promoting social emotional learning skills (absolutely not.) The facilities for primary students are very crowded and there were 26 students jammed into a small classroom. While it was fine academically, it was clear teachers were burned out, and what’s more, the bullying in primary was worse than anywhere we’ve ever seen. Not only were the bullies not given meaningful consequences, but they managed to turn many people in the class against my child based on a couple of particularly awful bullies’ persuasion. Even though I repeatedly asked the teachers and head of school for help and intervention for my child who was emotionally tortured and walking in tears to and from schoo... read full review

We've been part of this school community for two years with our 7-year-old daughter, and it has been a wonderful experience. The standout for us is the emphasis on emotional well-being and how they empower every child’s self-esteem. The way they foster connections between kids of all ages creates such a friendly atmosphere. Academically, the growth has been incredible; our daughter is now fluent in English and easily connects with native-speaking peers. We recommend it 100%!

We were very much looking forward to our four-year-old son starting his reception course at the beautiful St George's school. Our son was more excited than us and pleaded for us to go early so we would be the first one waiting by the gate every morning.
After 2 weeks, things started to change. One day I received a call from the school asking if I knew where our son was! He had left school without them noticing. Luckily, my wife was outside the school early for the afternoon pickup and saw him leaving.
This incident, and the thought of what might have happened, was shocking, but the response from his teachers was even more concerning. Both Miss G and Miss B blamed our four-year-old son for the incident and told us it happened because he doesn't listen to them! They never apologised. Miss B said they would strengthen the security of the school to make sure this wouldn’t happen ag... read full review
