About Us
BHS started in September 2020 during Covid with only 5 students in the basement of a co-working space and in less than 5 years has an enrollment of 340 students.
BHS is a welcoming and dynamic new-age school for the post-Covid era that focuses on student-centered learning through a revolutionary education approach called the BHS Method™, rather than using the old-fashioned "one-size-fits-all" teaching methodology that unbelievably still exists today in schools.
BHS is revolutionizing education by teaching students that the path to success is by finding their true strengths and continually learning from failure to find solutions to problems. Unlike traditional schools that still believe in the out-dated teaching model designed for children in the industrial age over 200 years ago that defines success simply by how well students can memorize answers to tests versus trial and error and continual iteration.
To accomplish this vision, BHS lives by the promise and original mission, as a Social Wellness School™, to help students excel not only academically, but socially and psychologically as well. Accordingly, besides academics (including AP courses for students who wish to enter elite universities), other areas such as student social life and mental health and emotional confidence are eqally important to the school. BHS also provides leadership and empowerment skills, international speakers, and career and life counseling. Naturally, students increase their emotional intelligence while expanding their opportunities and finding their life passions.
Delivering on its promise and mission is Why BHS is one of the fastest growing schools in Europe. Indeed, in only its 2nd year, BHS had already been considered as both the best international school in Spain and most prestigious school in Spain. And most recently in 2024, the most innovative school in Spain.
​
BHS is centrally located in Barcelona city. Unlike the other international and American schools which are located outside the city, therefore, lacking a real life Barcelona cultural experience. BHS is the school for the global village where the international community unites and has perfect access with all modes of public transportation.
​
While BHS uses the American school education system for its curriculum, BHS is the international school in Barcelona for the global community. BHS is one of the most international schools in Europe, as no nationality is larger than 25% of the student body.
Indeed, BHS is the only school in Barcelona that has English immersion and English Foundation Year programs for non-native English speakers. While also offering intensive Spanish courses for non-Spanish speakers to develop cultural integration within Spain.
​
BHS is a fun, engaging, caring and diverse environment (across multiple grade levels, religions, cultures and nationalities) where students come together as one big family learning through flexible, innovative and dynamic teaching methods. Asking questions, engaging in dialogue, and speaking in class are welcomed and rewarded.
​
To further create its unique family bond among students, BHS offers extracurricular activities and athletics for girls and boys, as well as creative elective options for students.
Moreover, BHS has a modern digital school platform for academic monitoring and progress transparency, flexibility for athletes, and learning independence.
​
As stated above, BHS started with only 5 students in the basement of a co-working space in its first year (2020-2021) and then grew to over 30 students in its 2nd year (2021-2022). In its 3rd school year (2022-2023), BHS had already grown to 100 students. In its 4th school year (2023-2024), BHS had grown to 200 students. And now in its 5th year (2024-2025), BHS has an enrollment of 340 students to serve as the global school for Barcelona, the best city to live in Spain.
​
In the upcoming school year (2025-2026), BHS is opening a new preschool and primary school campus, in addition to moving into a new middle and high school campus, to be the #1 international American school in Barcelona for global citizens.
