When we moved to Barcelona, this private school helped my kids adapt and thrive in a multilingual setting, especially in English. The high academic standards prepared my children for the next steps in their education and the school's traditions and special events were incredibly memorable part of their experience.

The school offers a good balance of traditional values, high quality education and fun. There is a family atmosphere and the children feel supported by the staff and teachers. My son is happy and enjoys learning English at this great school.

Super happy with the school! Good quality of teaching and individualised attention. They follow the evolution of each student personally, keeping track of both their personal and academic education.

Small lovely and well organised school where the kids really learns English. High ethics, no bullying. Very on top of everything. A bit strict sometimes, but the kids can study in a relaxed environment.

my son was 2 years student at EASC. Just when we return from the USA after 7 years (almost all his life) the teachers and the direction of this school were very conceous about our son's adaptation to the new environment and system, always helping. Finally the results arise and our son level improves very significantly. We are very thankful for all the effort they put into.

colegio familiar. gestion estupenda, mis hijos iniciaron este aƱo Reception ( P3). ratio profesores / alumnos como en pocos colegios, clase cohesionada con muy buen ambiente con todos los niƱos, educacion excepcional . En esta ultima epoca de pandemia la direcciĆ³n del colegio ha demostrado un nivel excepcional con clases telematicas y una re-entrada al colegio con unos protocolos increibles. Solo puedo tener con ellos buenas palabras ā¤ļø Felicidades Miss Bofill y resto del equipo del colegio. Lo recomiendo 100%

Very happy with the school and its approach to the pupils and family. Highly recommend it. My eldest child has already finished her studies there and is now studying abroad and has adapted very well. My other child continues to study at Santa Claus and he is really enjoying school.

Very disappointed with this school. They donā€™t care about the kids. Teachers changed constantly. The director Arola has no idea about manners. I took my daughter out of this school and now she is much happier

Great English Academy in beautiful safe surroundings. I have had all of my 4 children in this familiar school and their level of English is now excellent. Santa Claus has a 0 tolerance for bullying something I found very important since it is a big problem nowadays, they also had an animal welfare workshop on the schedule. I loved that! The school is trilingual and all classes meet a very high standard. It was easy to communicate with teathers and direction when we had a problem. My kids also loved the food there.

While living in Barcelona for a year we had the opportunity to send our daughter to EASC. With it's old world charm and close knit feeling having come from NY we wanted our daughter to have the experience of a bilingual education as well as immersing her in the local culture and EASC met all of our hopes and exceeded our expectations. The academic standards at EASC have given my daughter an advantage since returning to the US school system. A well balanced program that encompasses the social, emotional and academic well being of all the children. The directors guidance and insights into my daughters assimilation during the process were spot on and much appreciated as we navigated the transition. I would absolutely recommend EASC!

The only good thing about the school were the teachers but the best of them left too. The most anti international pro Catalan too small, terrible management that actually abused the children. Discipline is a good thing but the management took it to ridiculous lengths. Be warned!!! As far as zero bullying that is an absolute joke. We experienced it. So many other parents and precious teachers had terrible experiences. I speak on their behalf. Thank goodness we left!!!

The English teachers try their best,however management is very disorganised,not child centered and a poor place to educatate your child. Major changes are needed for the improvement of the school. All in all, this school is unsafe for children.
