St. George, Barcelona

In Brief

St. George is a solid British-curriculum choice in Sarria if Oak House or BSB City is not the right fit. It's smaller than BSB and more central than Castelldefels - useful if you want British continuity without committing to the coast.

Around 700 students from 60+ nationalities follow the British National Curriculum through IGCSEs, then the IB Diploma in Years 12-13 - one of the few schools in Barcelona offering both pathways. The Sarria campus is well-placed for families in the upper city and easily accessible from Gracia, Les Corts, and the Zona Alta. ISP ownership (International Schools Partnership) means governance is corporate but the school is smaller than BSB and tends to have a tighter-knit feel.

Forbes ranked St. George in the Top 100 Schools in Spain for both 2025 and 2026. Duke of Edinburgh is available, and the Cambridge International accreditation covers the IGCSE track. The school has around 60 nationalities on roll, which means the social mix skews genuinely international rather than predominantly local.

Fees at St. George run higher than Hamelin-Laie and into BSB territory by Year 9-11 (EUR 20,760). The one-time enrolment fee of EUR 3,500 plus the annual EUR 1,000 registration fee add meaningfully to first-year costs. There is a 10% discount from the third sibling, and a 3% discount for paying the full year in advance.
