How we learn

Local Accreditation Accepted

Our application to be an accredited international secondary school has been accepted by the Barcelona education department.

The application has been to the Spanish government’s education ministry for final approval and we expect to receive our final accreditation during the 2023-2024 school year. 

Once accredited, learners will be entitled to apply to co-validate their learning to receive the ESO certificate and can qualify for an American high school diploma through the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).
