IBThis page currently covers 4 schools listed in Barcelona, Spain. Coverage is growing and does not represent every private school in the area.
Barcelona’s city listings include Oak House and St PETER’S, whose pathways need stage-specific comparison. Oak House publishes ages 3–18 and separates Baccalaureate and IB at the senior stage. St PETER’S publishes ages 1–18 and an English-medium pathway through primary, middle years and Diploma.
At St PETER’S, the 2026/27 tuition amount excludes annual registration, which varies by stage.
