Admissions & entry points

Teaching language

BFIS provides an English-language education for ages 3–18 through an American and international curriculum. Its non-profit status means the school reinvests its income in education.

Source ↗ · 2026-09-13

IB authorisation and teaching languages

The IB directory lists Diploma Programme authorisation from April 29, 2011 and Middle Years Programme authorisation from April 21, 2026. It lists English for Diploma teaching and English plus Spanish for MYP, with day-school provision for both. This does not mean every subject is taught in both languages. Ask which subjects use Spanish in the intended year group. Older school wording describing MYP candidacy should be read against this newer IB record.

Learning & qualifications

American foundations and IB programmes

Benjamin Franklin International School serves ages 3 to 18 in Barcelona and operates as a non-profit school. Its published programme combines an American curriculum with the IB Middle Years and Diploma programmes. The school describes conceptual understanding and interdisciplinary learning as part of its teaching approach.

For a family comparing Barcelona schools, the useful distinction is the sequence of programmes rather than the word “international”. Ask how the curriculum changes between school divisions and how a child arriving from a national curriculum is placed. Older applicants should also review subject choices and the requirements for entering the Diploma Programme.

Learning and qualifications

BFIS describes an American curriculum from Nursery through Grade 5, the IB Middle Years Programme in Grades 6–10 and the IB Diploma in Grades 11–12. Families moving between systems should compare their child’s year group with this sequence. The admissions team accepts enquiries throughout the year.
