At Agora Barcelona International School, we offer an individualized, international, innovative and multilingual education preparing our students from the age of 1 to university.
The educational project of Agora Barcelona is defined by 5 distinctive elements: the International Baccalaureate as a model for the future, multilingualism, STEAM, sport, and the commitment to provide our students with the tools to grow as global citizens who can shape the world.
Agora Barcelona is an IB World School, and at Post 16 our students get the opportunity to study the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). Many reports show that students who have studied the IBDP feel better prepared for the research-style learning required at university and IB students often seem to cope better with demanding workloads and time management challenges.
