The British School of Barcelona will invest 15 million in a campus in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi

The British School of Barcelona (BSB) continues to expand its educational model throughout the Catalan capital and its surroundings. After its campuses in Sitges and Castelldefels, BSB will open a new school in Barcelona, BSB City, consisting of two buildings located in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district.

To make this possible, it will invest 15 million euros, working with about twenty local companies. Two existing buildings, one of them in modernist style, will be completely renovated to adapt them to new educational uses. Both educational centers will have a total capacity for almost a thousand students. They will feature laboratories, sports facilities, kitchens with a capacity for 900 daily menus, and photovoltaic installations.

The first building, located on Esperança Street, will be ready for next academic year. The Foundation Campus will have 750 square meters of indoor space and 500 square meters outdoors. It will have capacity for a total of 200 students aged three to ten, offering them Early Years and Primary courses.

Subsequently, in September 2023, the Barcelona campus will expand its facilities with a second building, the Main Campus, near the Foundation Campus and John Kennedy Square. With an area of 5,500 square meters of indoor spaces and 1,200 square meters of outdoor spaces, it will be able to accommodate 750 students aged three to 18, with Early Years, Primary, Secondary, and Baccalaureate courses. It will also have its own and adjacent sports facilities.

The Sarriá-Sant Gervasi campus will become the fourth center in Catalonia and will join BSB Castelldefels, created in 1999 and offering courses for students aged three to 16, and BSB Sitges, incorporated in 2016, formerly International School of Barcelona, and offering education from three to 11 years old. In Castelldefels, BSB also has BSB Nexus, a pre-university campus for students aged between 16 and 18, which opened in 2018.
